JP Morgan Asset Management says an incoming US recession is a virtual certainty. The Federal Reserve may lower interest rates by the third quarter as growth loses momentum.

Bloomberg (gated) reported on the note from JPM:

  • “The market is right to be penciling in cuts”
  • “Inflation is too high and it will take a recession to bring it back down”
  • US banking stresses “have only made a recession more likely.”
  • Fed will execute a policy pivot as soon as September to counter slowing growth
