Bitcoin Rally and Market Froth Could Delay Fed Rate Cuts, Unsettle Stock Market: JPMorgan
- Bitcoin's record-breaking rally above $60,000 could cause the Fed to delay planned interest rate cuts
- JPMorgan strategist Marko Kolanovic said risk asset "froth" could keep rates higher for longer to avoid inflating asset prices further
- The market expects at least 3 Fed rate cuts starting in June 2024, but delay could unsettle stock market's bullish outlook
- Kolanovic remains bearish on stocks overall, arguing they are expensive, concentrated in megacaps, and priced for perfection
- Kolanovic's S&P 500 target is 4,200, representing 18% downside from current levels
