Did you know there's a way to predict the S&amp;P 500 with an ~85% correlation?
Sounds insane, but it's true.
Here's the surprising logic behind my claim:
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="936" height="621" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21144315/image-11.png" alt="" class="wp-image-6269" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21144315/image-11.png 936w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21144315/image-11-300x199.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21144315/image-11-768x510.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px" /></figure>
When investors look for long-term bullish S&amp;P 500 signals, they look at:
U.S CPI
U.S. interest rates
U.S. M2 supply (relatively liquid assets in the U.S economy)
This is a mistake.
Although these metrics matter, there's something we commonly forget.
Unlike most countries, the U.S. stock market is global.
German citizens rarely invest in Japanese stocks.
But many will invest in Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, etc.
When central banks print money, it enters the economy of that respective country.
A portion of that money goes to citizens who buy food, shelter, clothing, etc.
However, some of them will invest their cash into assets.
A sizable portion specifically goes into the S&amp;P or S&amp;P-included companies.
That's why, if you're investing in the S&amp;P, you can't just focus on U.S. liquidity.
You need to focus on global liquidity instead.
The problem is global liquidity is hard to measure.
Combining M2 and interest rate data from the world's central banks isn't easy.
That's why financial data platforms like Ycharts and TradingView don't have a global liquidity metric.
This is why investors typically track GL from the 5 biggest central banks.
Specifically the:
Bank of Japan
Federal Reserve
Bank of England
European Central Bank
People's Bank of China
These are the most important central banks in the world, and tracking their efforts isn't difficult.
This is where most investors go wrong, when they exclusively track the Fed's monetary policies to predict the S&amp;P's long-term outlook.
But the S&amp;P receives inflows from across the globe.
That's why the decisions of the BoJ, BoE, ECB, and PBoC collectively matter more than the Federal Reserve alone.
Thanks to the U.S. stock market&#8217;s global status, global liquidity is highly correlated.
Popular U.S. stock indexes like the NASDAQ, for example, have a 95% correlation.
Whereas the S&amp;P has an ~85% correlation.
This chart speaks volumes.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="936" height="520" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21144314/image-2.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-6268" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21144314/image-2.jpeg 936w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21144314/image-2-300x167.jpeg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/21144314/image-2-768x427.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px" /></figure>
However, during bull markets, global liquidity sometimes decouples from the S&amp;P.
Particularly when there's particularly bullish news and the market gets excited.
Trump's election victory was a great example of this.
Politics aside, Trump has always been bullish for stocks.
The same can be said about bearish black swan events.
2008, the initial COVID scare, Yen carry trade, Deepseek, etc.
Bullish and bearish signals decouple the market from global liquidity.
But it always realigns.
It's important to remember that there's a delay between global liquidity and the stock market.
It takes time for liquidity to flow into assets and inflate prices.
Liquidity → stocks – fewer shares → lower supply → prices rise
What's the moral of the story?
Don't just analyze U.S. monetary policies.
Monitor the policies of the biggest central banks in the world.
With a delay, you can reliably predict the movements of major U.S. indexes.

Top 2 Health Care Stocks That May Rocket Higher This Month

Homebuyers continued to struggle in January as prices sharply rose and the number of home sales in the United States dwindled. Elevated prices have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41876775/u-s-homebuyers-are-now-56-on-average-as-younger-generations-struggle-with-wildly-unaffordable-market-housing-expert-warns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">limited many buyers&#8217; ability</a> to purchase homes.
The Data: Sales of previously owned homes fell 4.9% from December to January, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/02/21/january-home-sales-drop-sharply-as-prices-hit-high.html">according</a> to CNBC, citing the National Association of Realtors. The current level is nearly a 15-year-low for January. The median home price was $396,900, 4.8% higher than last year and the highest price ever for January.
"Mortgage rates have refused to budge for several months despite multiple rounds of short-term interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve," Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the NAR, told CNBC. "When combined with elevated home prices, housing affordability remains a major challenge."
The average home for sale spent 41 days on the market in January, the longest average period since before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Purchasing with cash also remains popular amid a sustained period of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43873151/mortgage-rates">high mortgage rates</a>. All-cash offers comprised 29% of sales, down from 32% in 2024.
Why it Matters: Many observers have described the U.S. market as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/11/41841883/housing-crisis-forces-airbnb-and-vrbo-into-the-hot-seat-as-cities-grapple-with-soaring-rents-and-mounting-public-backlash">undergoing a crisis</a>. Many reports have tied elevated prices to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/06/39512860/us-desperately-needs-housing-supply-so-why-has-new-home-construction-sunk-to-4-year-lows">lack of housing supply</a>.
Beyond affordability, the ripple effects of high housing costs extend throughout the economy. Rising home prices can fuel rent increases, exacerbating financial strain on those unable to buy.
Some experts have called for regulatory changes, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/09/41065511/from-single-family-to-many-how-minneapolis-is-zoning-in-on-affordable-housing-but-not-everyone-is-ha">including zoning reforms</a> to encourage new construction. Without intervention, affordability challenges may persist, making homeownership increasingly out of reach for younger buyers and middle-class families.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?utm_source=insights&amp;adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Coca-Cola Consolidated has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Coca-Cola Consolidated's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Coca-Cola Consolidated's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 8.05%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
