JP Morgan Raises Alarm Over US Economy and Dollar

J.P. Morgan, the largest bank in America, has sounded an alarm concerning the future of the US economy and the dollar. The bank's concerns are drawn from the looming $34 trillion debt that is destabilizing the US economy and threatening market security. J.P. Morgan cautions that the state of the US economy is akin to a boiling frog, suggesting an impending disaster.

J.P. Morgan and the US Economy's Negative Prognosis

This negative prognosis on the US economy and the dollar is emerging as BRICS-Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa- seek to dethrone the global supremacy of the US. The metaphor of the boiling frog is often used to illustrate the failure to take action against a challenging situation, with the issues progressively escalating until they reach catastrophic levels. This metaphor appears to describe accurately the direction the US economy is heading.

US Debt and the Pervasive Impact of BRICS Decision

If BRICS were to stop using the dollar, multiple sectors in the US economy would be affected. The US national debt marked a new record this January 2024, exceeding $34 trillion for the first time. This rapidly escalating debt threatens to cause chaos in the US stock markets. As J.P. Morgan strategist Michael Cembalest puts it, The problem for the US is the starting point; every round of fiscal stimulus brings the US one step closer to debt unsustainability.

Rising National Debt and Investor Consequences

Cembalest further notes, However, we're accustomed to deteriorating US government finances with limited consequences for investors. And one day that may change (the boiling frog analogy). The US has run out of the road on that one. The warning from J.P. Morgan coincides with a push by BRICS to de-dollarize, challenging the US economy's dominance.

BRICS, US Economy, and an Impending Disaster

While the specter of mounting debt is troubling, the threat posed by BRICS to the US economy represents another risk. If left unchecked, the combination of these two factors could set the stage for an economic meltdown. This could potentially usher in the collapse of the US economy, a scenario that would indeed be disastrous.
