Still, JPMorgan warned that concerns about economic growth remain a significant threat.
“Going forward, until the Sharpe ratio of the carry trade turns higher, we do not believe this will be the catalyst for the next major correction,” the firm said. “Instead, we view re-emerging growth risks as a possible trigger.”
