A snippet from JP Morgan on the US equity market. They've been eyeing the downside for a good while now, today is no different: My bad, I was thinking of Morgan Stanley ... thanks to Basil in the comments for the correction.

JP Morgan:

  • liquidity remains terrible
  • there is no real demand around for anything
  • the pipes and plumbing for the market will only get worse once June rolls around ... few are willing to step in front of it
  • Once we broke above 4,000 the debate became whether you sell 4100, 4200, 4300 or 4400. It's easy to say things feel terrible but whether it's a straight or squiggly line we still think the risk is to the downside
