What is Market Trends?

UFM Market Trends is a newsletter that analyzes current economic and financial trends under the theory that there exists a cycle of liquidity crises.  

UFM Market Trends works under the theory that there exists a cycle of liquidity crises. This theory proposes that the role of the financial intermediary should be to balance future profits of employers with the risk and liquidity expectations of investors.

When we follow the liquidity statement of the financial intermediaries, we come to understand that it is they who must allocate capital among different economic agents. The indicators that most interest us when evaluating the system are the following:

• The financial intermediary’s liquidity statement.
• The performance curve of other world economies, with the purpose of anticipating liquidity struggles that tend to precede crises.
• Cash flows in order to identify which sectors will show most growth in the future.
• The balance of payments in order to analyze the effects that these cash flows have on creditor/debtor statuses in different countries.
• Commodities, producer and market prices in order to accurately identify in which phase each economy’s cycle finds itself.

Periodically, we publish the following reports.
