JP Morgan Thoughts on Coming Recession

March 23, 2020 by Paul Myers, Myers Capital Management

JP Morgan, one of the Portfolio Strategists we utilize for client accounts, wrote the following in a weekly market update regarding what a coming recession may look like…

Financial markets have moved swiftly, and are now pricing in a global recession, with the S&P 500 falling into bear market territory and both investment grade and high yield bond spreads widening out significantly. While we believe a 2020 recession is likely, it should be different than the recession triggered by the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). The areas affected by social distancing (leisure & hospitality, retail and transportation) represent a larger percentage of overall employment, but a smaller share of GDP than the finance and construction industries did during the GFC. That being said, a very sharp decrease in consumer spending concentrated in the second quarter could subsequently lead to broader economic weakness in the third quarter. From an earnings perspective, industries impacted by social distancing represent a smaller portion of overall S&P
500 earnings than financials did in 2007, but any impact on the aggregate figures will depend on how badly earnings from the affected industries are impacted. While early indications suggest that this could be a deep recession, the recovery that could take hold, once effective treatments and vaccines have been created and distributed, has the potential to be more robust than the recovery following the GFC as neither the economy nor financial institutions went into this crisis suffering from major imbalances.
