WSJ Your Money Briefing · Wall Street: Don't Let Calm Markets Fool You · 14 Mar 2018 podcast

There are many ebbs and flows in the data. voice-verified

But it does look somewhat lukewarm. voice-verified

And so the question is, where are we in the cycle? voice-verified

Because on top of all this, the most important thing, the most important thing for the last nine years has been what central banks have or haven't been doing and what they might or might not do in the future. voice-verified

And we know that. voice-verified

that they are continuing on with the withdrawal of stimulus. voice-verified

The U.S. voice-verified

is in the lead there, where we started to unwind the balance sheet of the Fed. voice-verified

But other parts of the world as well, they're taking the foot off the accelerator somewhat in terms of stimulus. voice-verified

And what effect is that going to have? voice-verified

We had a pretty serious hiccup in February with volatility products blowing up. voice-verified

Yeah, and everyone is at a different phase there. voice-verified

So the U.S. voice-verified

is at the phase of, you know, way in the lead. voice-verified

Several rate increases, three or four more on tap for this year, but also withdrawing, so reducing the size of its balance sheet. voice-verified

And you may start seeing other major central banks do the same after years of stimulus. voice-verified

And that is really the sort of that many people believe the juice that has kept this epic rally going and what has kept the market so calm over this time. voice-verified

And last year, by many measures, was the calmest environment either ever or in our lifetimes in terms of financial markets, in terms of just daily volatility in stocks and many other measures. voice-verified
