1. Treasury - conduct risk - financial markets.

A squeeze is a less extreme case of a market corner.


A gentle squeeze
"A market corner arises where a party attempts to achieve a dominant controlling market position to dictate price.
A squeeze arises where a party does not seek dominance, but attempts to gain control of sufficient amounts of a commodity or security to impact prices."
The Treasurer magazine, September/October 2017, p37 - Gerry Harvey, chief executive of the FICC Markets Standards Board (FMSB).


2. Treasury - markets - financial markets - market conditions - economics.

Any adverse change in market conditions.


Examples:

"[The UK's] COVID-19 Corporate Financing Facility... was designed to support companies affected by a short-term funding squeeze, and allow them to finance their short-term liabilities."

(COVID-19 Corporate Financing Facility - the Treasurer's Wiki)


"Unless wages begin to accelerate in line with the inflation pick-up - unlikely, but not impossible - households will see real incomes squeezed this year..."
