Thesis
When a JPMorgan strategist says rate hikes are back on the table and credit spreads are at a top, it means markets are pricing in a perfect-scenario economy that leaves no room for error. The difference between what safe bonds and risky bonds pay has narrowed to a sliver, meaning investors are collecting almost no extra cushion for taking on default risk. With jobs growth expected at roughly 80,000 — a very soft number — any surprise weakness on Friday could jolt the market into repricing that risk. That kind of shock widening in credit spreads tends to hit junk bond funds the fastest and hardest.
