Source: (Left) BLS, Eurostat, Japan Ministry of Internal Affairs & Communications, ONS, Thomson Reuters Datastream, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. (Right) IMF World Economic Outlook October 2017, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. 2017 and 2018 are IMF estimates. Output gap is a measure of the difference between actual GDP of an economy and its potential GDP. IMF output gap is calculated using actual GDP minus potential GDP expressed as a percentage of potential GDP. Spare capacity is the extent to which an economy is operating below the maximum sustainable level of employment and production, therefore showing the amount of slack in the economy. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current and future results. Guide to the Markets - Europe. Data as of 31 December 2017.

Rate hiking cycle

Historical impact of Fed tightening

Federal funds rate and US 10-year Treasury yield%

Source: Bloomberg, Standard & Poor’s, Thomson Reuters Datastream, US Federal Reserve, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Averages do not include the current cycle. US investment grade is the Citigroup USBIG Corporate All Maturities index. The emerging market debt is the J.P. Morgan EMBI+ Composite index. Between 1979 and 1982, the FOMC changed its approach to monetary policy, focusing on the money supply, rather than the Federal funds rate. In the fall of 1982, however, the Federal Reserve shifted back to its approach of targeting the “price” rather than the “quantity” of money. Thus, because the Federal funds rate was not the FOMC’s key policy tool, we exclude increases in the Federal funds rate between 1979 to 1982 in our analysis of rate hike cycles. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current and future results. Guide to the Markets - Europe. Data as of 31 December 2017.
