Markets feel decoupled from economic fundamentals, Sky Wee notes
Liquidity inflates asset prices

When excess liquidity enters financial markets, prices can rise faster than actual economic value is created.

Sky Wee states that asset prices may move higher simply due to more money chasing the same assets, rather than improved productivity in the economy. He adds that this effect can cause markets to feel disconnected from reality.

The phenomenon of markets becoming untethered from underlying fundamentals is not new. Similar skepticism toward surface-level metrics has emerged in discussions of digital assets, where questions regarding the accuracy of data have significant implications. As Sky Wee has previously highlighted in his analysis of the challenges facing Forbes crypto estimates, incomplete information and rapidly shifting conditions continue to complicate reliable valuation across both traditional and emerging markets.
