Market update

When bad news isn’t good news

Stocks sank and bonds rallied as soft-landing hopes gave way to recession fears. Heading into Friday, the S&P 500 and tech-heavy Nasdaq were down more than -2%, while 10-year U.S. Treasury yields have now fallen -45 basis points just in the first three weeks of the year. That said, stocks outside the United States continued to hold their ground—both Europe and China were flat to slightly higher on the week.

The culprits:

  • Slowing growth. Despite last week’s optimism around decelerating inflation, investors seem spooked that growth is becoming scarcer. Retail sales fell by more than expected as consumers felt the pinch, and factory output showed the weakest quarter for manufacturing since the start of the pandemic.
  • Federal Reserve hawkishness. The Fed doesn’t seem swayed by the latest data, even if it’s moving its way. A host of Fed speakers this week signaled their intention to keep hiking. In their minds, while a slowdown in the pace of hikes might be warranted, the job isn’t done: Inflation is still too high, and even as growth slows, the labor market remains too tight (new applications for unemployment benefits are at their lowest since September).  
  • Cautious words from corporates. So far, Q4 earnings season has been better than expected—but that is off a low bar (it’s expected to be the weakest for the S&P 500 since 2020). The cautious commentary coming from management teams has been hard to ignore. Moreover, job cuts in tech continued this week as Microsoft and Alphabet both announced more layoffs.

But we’d be remiss not to mention there were a few bright spots:

  • Producers are seeing lower prices on their products—a sign that goods inflation continues to decelerate. The Producer Price Index fell -0.5% in December, down from +0.3% in November.
  • Mortgage rates have fallen 1% from their peak (for 30-year fixed, to 6.37% from 7.35%), catalyzing the largest weekly jump in applications since 2020. Housing starts for single-family homes also saw their first gain in four months.

We’re at a pivot point, and markets are trying to work out the path forward. And if the state of the economy didn’t bring enough to digest, political conflict around the debt ceiling is also unfolding in Washington—with much at risk. Below, we answer five questions on what could be a messy government showdown.

Your questions, our answers

Debt ceiling drama


The U.S. government hit its legal $31.4 trillion debt limit yesterday. From here, the Treasury (which is responsible for the government’s pocketbook) is expected to run down its cash balance and use “extraordinary measures” as long as it feasibly can to help the government continue to pay its obligations. But those measures won’t last forever—by our estimates, the runway should last until at least June—and Congress is faced with overcoming political gridlock to address the ceiling before the clock runs out.

The punchline:

We will likely see heightened market volatility around these deadlines this year, but if history is any guide, we expect policymakers to eventually find a compromise and the impact to be short-lived. The key is to focus on your long-term investment plan.

1. What’s the debt limit? How does this all work?

Everyone has bills to pay, including the U.S. government. To meet its obligations (which include paying military salaries, retiree benefits, interest on national debt, etc.), the Treasury sells bonds (i.e., issues new debt) to investors across the globe. Because the U.S. government consistently runs a budget deficit (meaning it spends more than it takes in), the Treasury issues even more debt to pay its outstanding obligations, and as a result, the stock of national debt has continued to rise.

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS APPROACHING THE DEBT CEILING

Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P., Office of Management and Budget. Data as of January 16, 2023.

But the so-called debt limit designates the maximum amount the U.S. government can ultimately borrow. Today, that limit stands at $31.4 trillion. Some form of a debt cap has been in place since 1917, and since WWII, the ceiling has been raised or suspended 102 times—the last time being 2021.

2. What happens next?

Now that we hit the limit, the Treasury will run down its cash balance at the Fed and use “extraordinary measures” to keep expenditures flowing (through fancy accounting that limits some government investments and reduces the amount of debt subject to the limit). That runway is broadly estimated to last until at least June, but there is a lot of uncertainty around that date.

Congress is in charge of suspending or raising the limit, and the next few months will likely see members from both political parties demand concessions as they try to negotiate a deal.

3. But what if the government can’t get it done?

If Congress does not suspend or raise the limit, the risk of default becomes a reality. We would expect the Treasury to prioritize paying its debt obligations, while curbing its discretionary expenditures (like education or transportation). The impact could be economically calamitous (through a potential global recession) and disruptive for investors (for instance, through persistently higher Treasury borrowing costs).

That said, history is on our side that policymakers will reach a consensus to avoid a worst-case scenario of default.

4. What have markets done in past episodes of debt ceiling drama?

The closest call in the recent past was in 2011, when Congress increased the ceiling just two days before the Treasury was expected to exhaust its efforts. Days later, Standard & Poor’s downgraded the U.S. credit rating to AA+ (from AAA). Risk assets reacted negatively: The dollar sold off, stocks sank and credit spreads widened, but a strong rally in Treasuries (driven by other percolating market fears at the time, such as the European sovereign debt crisis) led bonds higher overall.

MARKET MOVES DURING 2011'S DEBT CEILING EPISODE

Source: Bloomberg Finance L.P. Data as of February 2012.

Outside of 2011, other recent instances have seen markets more driven by the prevailing economic and market dynamics of the time, and any volatility around debt ceiling drama was ultimately short-lived.

Policymakers eventually found a compromise in all of these instances.

5. Can I do anything to prepare for a disorderly episode?

Diversification is the best defense. The potential for a disorderly debt ceiling episode adds just another kicker for global investors to rebalance U.S. overweights across asset classes—a key point expressed in our 2023 Outlook.

For instance, consider currencies and precious metals such as the Japanese yen and Swiss franc, and gold. Further, yields globally have risen, with bonds outside of the United States also now providing compelling income and protection. Finally, while stocks globally could take a hit in a disorderly episode, high-quality international equities (which are already catching a bid from China’s reopening, Europe’s improving energy dynamics, and higher exposure to the real economy) could provide relative insulation.

All in all, this isn’t the first time a debt ceiling episode has caused drama for investors, and it probably won’t be the last. Through the noise, we think it’s best to stick with your long-term investment plan.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENTS AND POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Conflicts of interest will arise whenever JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or any of its affiliates (together, “J.P. Morgan”) have an actual or perceived economic or other incentive in its management of our clients’ portfolios to act in a way that benefits J.P. Morgan. Conflicts will result, for example (to the extent the following activities are permitted in your account): (1) when J.P. Morgan invests in an investment product, such as a mutual fund, structured product, separately managed account or hedge fund issued or managed by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. or an affiliate, such as J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.; (2) when a J.P. Morgan entity obtains services, including trade execution and trade clearing, from an affiliate; (3) when J.P. Morgan receives payment as a result of purchasing an investment product for a client’s account; or (4) when J.P. Morgan receives payment for providing services (including shareholder servicing, recordkeeping or custody) with respect to investment products purchased for a client’s portfolio. Other conflicts will result because of relationships that J.P. Morgan has with other clients or when J.P. Morgan acts for its own account.

Investment strategies are selected from both J.P. Morgan and third-party asset managers and are subject to a review process by our manager research teams. From this pool of strategies, our portfolio construction teams select those strategies we believe fit our asset allocation goals and forward-looking views in order to meet the portfolio’s investment objective.

As a general matter, we prefer J.P. Morgan managed strategies. We expect the proportion of J.P. Morgan managed strategies will be high (in fact, up to 100 percent) in strategies such as, for example, cash and high-quality fixed income, subject to applicable law and any account-specific considerations.

While our internally managed strategies generally align well with our forward-looking views, and we are familiar with the investment processes as well as the risk and compliance philosophy of the firm, it is important to note that J.P. Morgan receives more overall fees when internally managed strategies are included. We offer the option of choosing to exclude J.P. Morgan managed strategies (other than cash and liquidity products) in certain portfolios.

The Six Circles Funds are U.S.-registered mutual funds managed by J.P. Morgan and sub-advised by third parties. Although considered internally managed strategies, JPMC does not retain a fee for fund management or other fund services.
