The Fiscal Outlook

On today’s episode Dr. David Kelly is joined by Meera Pandit, Global Market Strategist at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, to discuss the outlook for further fiscal stimulus with the infrastructure bill and budget reconciliation bill making their way through Congress. Discussion topics include: details of the infrastructure bill and Biden’s green energy ambitions, expectations for the larger budget reconciliation bill, the possibility of a debt-ceiling standoff, the 2022 midterms, and the potential for higher taxes and slower economic growth as we emerge from this period of extraordinary fiscal spending.   To read more about our thoughts on fiscal spending and other timely investment issues, check out our On the Minds of Investors blog: https://am.jpmorgan.com/us/en/asset-management/adv/insights/market-insights/market-updates/on-the-minds-of-investors/
