The net liquidity tracker monitors the amount of money available in the financial system. The Fed balance sheet (WALCL) represents total liquidity injected. The reverse repo facility (RRP) and Treasury General Account (TGA) drain liquidity back out. The CNLI composite distills these into a single reading. The S&P 500 overlay shows the historically strong correlation between net liquidity and equity prices.
Net liquidity = Fed balance sheet minus RRP minus TGA. The CNLI automates this calculation. The S&P 500 overlay demonstrates the correlation that makes liquidity tracking essential for equity positioning.
