JPMorgan Warns Of ‘Minsky Moment.’

JPMorgan Chase believes that the accumulation of recent banking meltdowns combined with geopolitical shocks and central bank monetary policy uncertainty could cause a “Minsky moment” in the markets.

A Minsky moment is a sudden and large collapse in asset values that marks the end of a growth phase of a cycle in credit markets or business activity.
