Central Bank Purchases Strengthen Market Floor Amidst Volatility

Global markets are facing a critical support level amidst prevailing volatility, according to the latest assessment by Goldman Sachs. Asset purchases and liquidity policies by central banks are bolstering market floors by sustaining risk appetite and creating a buffer zone against economic uncertainty.

Global Liquidity and Monetary Policy

The steps taken by monetary authorities play a decisive role not only in combating inflation but also in ensuring financial stability. During this process, the liquidity management of the banking sector is under the microscope.

■Central Banks: Strategic moves in balance sheet management by major actors like the Fed and ECB.

■Bond Markets: Purchase programs mitigating the risk of steepening the yield curve.

■Market Psychology: Investors' continued belief in the "Fed put" mechanism.

Given the pressure on commercial loans and deposit rates, while this intervention by central banks supports asset prices in the short term, the risk of macroprudential measures reflected in the banking sector increasing credit costs remains on the table. How much SMEs will benefit from this liquidity pool in terms of financing access must be closely monitored.
