Market liquidity remains under stress, with both CDS spreads and cash bond spreads toying with recent highs. Global "funding" or "macroeconomic" liquidity, on the other hand, is still healthy, thanks to the ongoing recycling of emerging economies' surplus dollars into US treasury and agency securities. Believe or not, February 2008 marks the 63th month in a row with the Global Dollar Liquidity growing at an annual rate of 10% or more. This is, of course, unprecedented. Note, too, that the sharp fall in the stock of Treasury securities held by the Fed has been arrested by the much steeper yield curve resulting from the FOMC's strong medicine. Good news for euro-based investors!

Hi there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer.
I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I'd
post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get
the issue resolved soon. Many thanks
