Debt ceiling uncertainty threatens stock market stability.
TL;DR Summary
JPMorgan strategists have warned that the stock market could experience a worse sell-off than in 2011 if lawmakers and President Joe Biden fail to resolve the debt-ceiling crisis. The analysts see potential for a "violent risk-off move in equities" as the X-date nears, and warned of potential spending cuts across some of Biden's legislative priorities. The strategists recommend investors hedge this potential risk by buying VIX call spreads and downside protection on small caps, and paring down exposure to Green/Climate/EV beneficiaries.
