## Market News

**JP Morgan CEO: U.S. Economy May Face "Hard Landing", Worst Outcome Would Be Stagflation.** Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JP Morgan, stated that the U.S. economy may experience a "hard landing". Dimon mentioned that the worst outcome for the U.S. economy would be "stagflation", where inflation continues to rise but economic growth slows down with high unemployment rates. He said, "I see a series of outcomes, and the worst outcome for all of us is stagflation, high interest rates, and a recession. That means corporate profits go down, we'll all get through it. I mean, the world has been through this before, but I think the likelihood is higher than people think." However, he noted that even in a recession, "consumers are in good shape". He pointed out that the unemployment rate has been below 4% for about two years and added that wages, home prices, and stock prices have been rising.

**Goldman Sachs Sounds Alarm: U.S. Debt Servicing Costs Ratio to Rise to Dangerous Levels.** Goldman Sachs updated its long-term U.S. fiscal outlook on Wednesday, expecting a key indicator of debt sustainability to rise to historically extreme levels. Goldman economists Manuel Abecasis and David Mericle wrote in the report, "Over the past five years, the outlook for U.S. fiscal sustainability has become more challenging." "In particular, the expected rise in future interest rates has significantly worsened the trajectory of the debt-to-GDP ratio and the share of actual interest payments in GDP." U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has repeatedly used the adjusted net interest expense-to-GDP ratio as a key measure of debt sustainability. Last year, she stated that a 1% ratio is "absolutely fine, nothing to worry about." Goldman Sachs' latest forecast shows that by 2034, this ratio will steadily rise to 2.3%.

**Fed Meeting Minutes: Hawkish Tone, Slight Decline in U.S. Treasuries.** The minutes of the May Federal Reserve meeting released on Wednesday showed that several policymakers questioned whether the policy was strict enough to bring inflation down to the target level. As a result, U.S. Treasuries fell, with short-term Treasuries leading the decline. Data shows that the yield on the two-year U.S. Treasury rose by about 5 basis points to 4.88%; the yield on the ten-year U.S. Treasury rose by 1 basis point to 4.43%. The minutes indicated that although participants assessed the policy as "well-positioned," several policymakers mentioned that they would be willing to further tighten monetary policy if necessary. However, the discussions mentioned in the minutes took place before the release of the U.S. CPI data for April. This inflation data showed a cooling of price pressures for the first time in 6 months, which helps explain the relatively mild market reaction.

**Hedge Funds Sound the Alarm: Should Not Be Blindly Optimistic Due to Fed Rate Cuts, U.S. Stocks Still Face "Largest Bubble in History" Risk.** Mark Spitznagel, Chief Information Officer and founder of the $16 billion hedge fund Universa, referred to hopes based on rate cuts as a "cautious situation" in an interview with foreign media. The fund focuses on risk mitigation in the face of "black swan" events. Nassim Nicholas Taleb, who wrote "The Black Swan" before the 2008 financial crisis, serves as an advisor to Universa Fund. He described black swan events as "extremely rare, to the point of being unknown in probability," and "once they occur, they have catastrophic effects," making them seem predictable in hindsight.
