This is The Markets.

I'm Chris Hussey and today is Thursday, March 12th, and I'm here in the Goldman Sachs trading floor with John Flood,

who is head of America's Equities Execution Services within Global Banking and Markets.

Flood, thanks so much for joining us.

Thank you for having me.

OK, John, believe it or not, it's been a year since I last had you on the show.

It was right around Liberation Day, a lot of volatility back then.

Compare today's market to what we were in a year ago.

I would say right now we're in a period of extreme uncertainty, more so than we were a year ago.

And frankly, there's a lot of focus on what is control, what we can control and what we can't control.

So right now, during this geopolitical uncertainty, it's is there going to be an off ramp to this conflict?

And that is a very confusing question to come up with a firm answer to.

It's a great point.

Trying to answer the questions, it's not an economics math problem at all.

It's a geopolitical problem.

All right, John, you get to look across institutional investors all day long.

You get a sense of how they're positioned in a market like today.

This week, we saw the VIX spike to 30.

We saw oil going back up towards $100 a barrel.

How are institutional investors positioned today?

People are on edge.

So as of right now, let's start with hedge funds, who are our most active traders from the institutional community.

they have held on to their single stock longs because there's still high conviction in your core ideas.

But due to the macro uncertainty, we're seeing an extreme amount of hedging.

And what that means is we're seeing a lot of shorting of macro products, futures, ETFs, custom baskets.

So there is a there's a thought that, OK, we're bracing for more of this headline risk.

I don't want to give up on the names that I've held for a long time that I think are alpha generating.

But I need to make sure I'm fully hedged up.

Makes sense.

I want to get to that hedging thing a little bit more.

But first I want to ask you about liquidity

because sometimes in these crises you see a liquidity squeeze that makes it just hard for people to trade.

Have we seen anything on the liquidity front?

Absolutely.

Liquidity is terrible right now.

And a lot of times people confuse market volumes and liquidity.

Right now market volumes are explosive.

If you look at total shares that are trading across all U.S equity exchanges it's 21 billion shares.

Last year 18 billion billion shares traded a day.

That was a record.

For comparison back in 2020 it was 11 billion shares a day.

So with this retail engagement in the market you're seeing market volumes increase year over year And frankly, right now, they've never been higher.

On the other side of the equation, liquidity is really poor.

How do we measure that at Goldman Sachs?

S&P top of book depth.

What is that in English?

Bottom line, it's S&P 500 futures.

There's a price that you can see on the screens.

How much notional can I buy or sell at the price that is seen on the screens?

Historical average is around $14 to $15 million.

Right now, today, we're at $3.8 million.

So as you are trying to have institutions move in or out of sizable positions,

you're having a lot more impact than you would on a typical liquid day.

And you're also sort of suggesting that it's a little bit harder to hedge with futures, and so that's kind of tricky.

You mentioned ETFs in the prior question, too.

Talk to me about how customers are using ETFs here, and has that become a bigger part of the market?

It's become a much bigger part of the market.

And like we said, we're seeing hedge funds short a lot of ETFs to hedge against macro risk.

But a standard that we use is of the shares that I just talked about trading 20, 21 billion shares a day.

What percentage is directly tied to an ETF in a healthy market?

It's typically 30, 31, 32 percent.

Right now we're north of 40 percent.

This makes sense because people are reaching for these macro products to hedge against their fears in the market.

So an important signal for us to see this tape, this market being more healthy.

It's OK.

S&P top of book liquidity will trend higher.

It's below four million dollars.

Let's see it move towards 10, which is still significantly below historical average.

But below seven million dollars is a real signal of stress.

And let's watch ETF representation of total tape trend back towards 30 percent north of 40.

Another signal of stress in the market.

And in the meantime, though, is there enough ETFs to be had?

I mean, can these guys get the liquidity in the ETFs?

Absolutely.

Believe it or not, right now, there's actually more listed ETFs than listed stocks.

There's 5000 listed ETFs versus around 4000 listed stocks.

So there are plenty to choose from, but it's clearly, you know, most institutional investors aggregate towards the most liquid, you know.

Right.

That's a fascinating stat.

There's more ETFs than there are liquid stocks, but every ETF is made up of stocks.

Correct.

That's exactly right.

We'll figure that calculus out at one point.

All right.

Let's talk a little bit about themes, because, you know, prior to February 28th, we were playing a couple of pretty interesting themes.

There was a rotation taking place in the market.

There was this halo theme, hard assets, low obsolescence, over the AI theme.

But now you've got oil up the wazoo and all this other stuff.

What are the themes that people are leaning into?

The themes that are most present right now is, you know, exposure in Asia, specifically Korea and Taiwan.

Do they want it or not want it?

They want it.

These trades have been working again there's a big retail footprint in both these markets

but Korea and Taiwan have been excellent trades and the hedge fund community

and institutional investors are long these regions right now during this unrest we've seen a pullback

so you've had a drawdown in the momentum factor Korea Taiwan

viewed as high momentum you know high momentum areas of the

market the momentum factor is pulled back what is this trade easiest expressed it's long semis versus short software, that's the AI trade.

So it's Korea, it's Taiwan, it's momentum, it's long semis versus short software.

100

You've seen all of those trades.

101

Those are the most concentrated, highly crowded thematics in the market come under real stress since the conflict started a couple weeks ago.

102

But if I strip down to the fundamentals, the AI trade also seems to be the most insulated from the problems of the geopolitical front.

103

Like, you know, higher oil prices.

104

What is an AI care?

105

Unfortunately, it's becoming entangled with momentum factor.

106

So you're right.

107

Stepping back, they shouldn't be, you know, tied.

108

But because factors underneath the surface of the market do drive a lot of trading behavior, they've become entangled.

109

Does this also suggest that investors are looking to come back home and invest more in the U.S instead of ex-U.S.?

110

During this two week period of, you know, political unrest, we have seen assets gravitate back towards the U.S.

111

And the thesis is that U.S is energy independent

112

and there's concerns around Europe's reliance on LNG specifically from Qatar and on Asia's reliance on oil from the Middle East.

113

So yes we are seeing assets flow back into the U.S. If

114

when we do get some more clarity on a resolution being

115

around the corner I would expect to see those assets

116

that were just moved back here as a parking place in the U.S back into Asia and Europe.

117

What's the trade today then?

118

The trade today like what we talked about is we're trying to stay present in the moment

119

and historically you are supposed to buy dips in U.S equities that are caused by geopolitical unrest.

120

If we look at the positioning dynamics

121

that we just said in terms of there being a whole lot of short exposure in macro products, I am confident that when we do get a headline that progress is being made,

122

that you'll have a lot of those short positions taken off.

123

What does that mean?

124

A lot of buying in macro products and in illiquid tape, likely more risk to the upside than the downside, even though that doesn't feel very natural at this moment.

125

ROBERT COSTA, The last on these is the catalyst ahead.

126

Is there anything that matters other than those announcements around the geopolitical risk?

127

We saw CPI this week.

128

It seems like nobody cared.

129

PEOPLE CARE ABOUT JOBS DATA.

130

We had a negative jobs print last reading.

131

We think it was a relative one-off due to weather

132

and strikes and some other technicals we can get into at another time.

133

But bottom line, we have to watch jobs very closely

134

because we think that the retail community the community stops buying stocks when there's job loss.

135

So hopefully negative jobs print was a one-off.

136

If you start to see two, three, four consecutive poor jobs prints, you could potentially see that retail bid, which has been so consistent, wobble.

137

That would make us uncomfortable.

138

Great point.

139

All right, let's cut to the question that everybody's been waiting for.

140

You are the FOGO.

141

Harvard's undefeated, unbelievable in La Crosse right now.

142

Can Harvard go undefeated for the whole year?

143

Absolutely.

144

They're going to take down Penn this weekend.

145

much for joining us here.

146

That does it for this week's episode of The Markets.

147
