Certainly! In 2021, we witnessed a surge in liquidity across financial markets. Here's why:

Central Bank Interventions:
- The Federal Reserve (Fed) and the European Central Bank (ECB) consistently signaled their commitment to injecting massive liquidity into the markets.
- As long as investors believed in this support, it drove asset prices higher.

Ample Liquidity:
- There was an abundance of liquidity “sloshing around the system,” leading to rising stock prices.
- Despite political and economic turmoil, stock markets remained resilient due to this liquidity.

Pandemic-Driven Opportunities:
- The COVID-19 pandemic created new investment opportunities.
- IPO markets broke records in Q1 2021, fueled by ample liquidity and fresh prospects.

Zero Interest Rate Policy:
- The Fed’s zero interest rate policy encouraged lending and further liquidity injections.
- However, this liquidity also inflated stock prices, contributing to what some called a "rational bubble".

In summary, central bank actions, investor confidence, and pandemic-related dynamics all played a role in the liquidity surge and subsequent market movements in 2021.
