JP Morgan: Watch USD, credit spreads and risk asset correlations for evidence of a broader sell off

JP Morgan: Watch USD, credit spreads and risk asset correlations for evidence of a broader sell off. Jan Loeys, head of global asset allocation at JPMorgan says there's no breadth to the market sell-off. Each of the market reversals of the past few weeks has in common that they represented widely held positions - long equities, overweight small caps, overweight tech, underweight emerging markets, and short duration, says Loeys. If there were greater worries about the economy or other downside risks, then we should have seen the dollar rise, credit and swap spreads widen, and emerging markets underperform. Correlations across risk assets should have risen. None of this has happened. There is no breadth to this sell-off.
