Merrill sounds alarm on global liquidity

Tom Stevenson: Investment column
Merrill Lynch has warned of a global credit crunch as central banks in Europe and Asia tighten monetary policy, advising clients to shun risk and switch to safer assets over the forthcoming months.

Presenting its strategy for 2007, the US bank said the world boom is clearly giving way to a slowdown that will shake up markets and punish smaller equities, industrial metals, and lower-tier assets of almost every kind.

It's worth reading in its entirety.

I hope this post works. I never did this before.

Exactly right. RUT and MID will be the weakest; SPX will be comparatively strong.

That's works for me. I'm not smart (or foolish?) enough to try and trade a precisely timed and measured top. A year from now when you look at a chart for 2007, you'll see how trivial the difference between 1455 and 1480 on the SPX really is.

There are a few banks that will need to increase their bad debt provision, this will hurt profits and reduce lending...



HSBC warning hits banks (biggest bank in Europe)
By Michael Hunter

Published: February 8 2007 09:08 | Last updated: February 8 2007 09:22

London equities fell in opening trade on Thursday as the banking sector was hit by HSBC’s surprise warning of increased debt provision within its US operations (extra $2 billion).

The purchase of Household in 2003 has left HSBC vulnerable to the slowing housing market in the US, leading it to warn on Thurday of an increase in debt provision within its mortgage operations there.
