Michael Howell, Managing Director at GL Indexes, warns that the global liquidity cycle is rolling over — just as AI spending, inflation pressure, Treasury stress, and China’s gold strategy are reshaping markets.

He also breaks down why he believes China is the real force driving gold, how crypto is flashing a liquidity warning, and why the Fed’s 2% inflation target may be fantasy.
