Jamie Dimon says that the only market bubble he sees right now is in sovereign debt. He added that historically low interest rates around the world have kept markets calm amid rising levels of debt, including negative rates in Europe.
said Wednesday the only financial market bubble he sees right now is in government red ink.
The government ran a deficit of $357 billion in the fiscal quarter ending in December and is on track to reach $1 trillion this fiscal year for the first time since 2012. But Dimon added that historically low interest rates around the world have kept markets not only calm amid rising levels of debt, butare further proof that investors could be overpricing government debt.
If inflation unexpectedly shot higher, it could force central banks to hike interest rates to help cool down the economy. But that would also make government borrowing significantly more expensive. Bond prices rise as yields fall.
