Last October, U.S. financial regulators introduced a new rule. The rule will officially take effect on April 1, 2026, coinciding perfectly with the peak of the V-shaped rebound in U.S. stocks on April 1. The new rule states that the eSLR (Enhanced Supplementary Leverage Ratio) for major U.S. banks will be reduced from at least 5% to somewhere between 3.5% and 4.25%. Essentially, this directly or indirectly releases trillions of dollars in funds. This is basically a disguised QE. Some speculate that this is the real reason why U.S. stocks, which were struggling on April 1, suddenly surged as if they were injected with a massive dose of adrenaline.
