Regardless of FOMC hiking next week, we have already observed a decrease in global central bank liquidity. We have noticed
this is very correlated to USD 5y swap rates Sy forward and, consequently, to the shape of the yield curve. Given central banks
play a major role in overall market liquidity, investors should consider the effects that Fed tightening and China's FX unwind
will have on liquidity levels. For the last decade liquidity has been has been positive for real rates and the curve; however, as
liquidity decreases this is likely to have negative implications for risk assets. See below and attached.

Investors who wish to articulate a view on a decreasing global central bank liquidity can do so by buying 6 month 5sl0s curve
floors. The 5sl0s is a proxy for the 5y5y, which, as seen above, can be regarded as a proxy to liquidity.

The 5sl0s also comes down (curve flattens) during hikes. Therefore this trade could benefit in the event of either a Fed hike,
or the event of no hike and a decrease in central bank liquidity
