Things have been looking good for a while from a financial perspective in America and around the world. Every major indicator (other than inflation) is pointing to continued prosperity. There’s a problem. Indefinite prosperity, particularly in asset pricing, is impossible. There’s always a cap, then a fall, then a rebound. It’s an unavoidable ebb and flow.

In a note from JPM’s Jan Loeys, titled “Financial overheating a problem yet?”, the strategist writes that “growth-sensitive assets, such as equities, credit, cyclicals, and commodities continue to gain and outperform, keeping us comfortably in the Growth Trade. Growth prospects have been rising and accelerating over the past two months from the only slow and dispersed upgrades of the previous 12 months. By now, we are in a full-fledged and globally synchronized move up in growth optimism.” Perhaps, but there is a catch as JPM unwillingly concedes:
