After disappointing tax receipts for 2022, much now hinges on how revenue shapes up through May. If this can sustain the government into mid-June, when quarterly tax payments are due, the Treasury is likely to be able to make it through much of July and perhaps even to August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"512\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/webimage-237645C2-15B9-4B48-8BBFB57FAD534466.jpg\" alt=\"these remains considerable  uncertainty about when x-date will fall\" class=\"wp-image-190667 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/webimage-237645C2-15B9-4B48-8BBFB57FAD534466.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/webimage-237645C2-15B9-4B48-8BBFB57FAD534466-700x448.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/webimage-237645C2-15B9-4B48-8BBFB57FAD534466-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/webimage-237645C2-15B9-4B48-8BBFB57FAD534466-768x492.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; aspect-ratio: 800\/512;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-needs-to-happen-to-avoid-default\">What needs to happen to avoid default?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After much internal wrangling, Republicans have unified behind one position and begun negotiations with the White House. Even if the two sides eventually strike a deal, as we expect, it would still need to clear Congress. Beyond the limited legislative timeframe, the main obstacle will be ultraconservative Republicans who could obstruct it by unseating the speaker to prevent bills from being brought to the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, some centrist Democrats are reported to have privately assured the speaker that they would come to his aid under such circumstances. President Joe Biden has also openly explored using section four of the 14<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;amendment, which states that the validity of US public debt \u201cshall not be questioned\u201d. But this unprecedented unilateral action could end up being struck down by the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So although a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.schroders.com\/en\/uk\/tp\/economics2\/economics\/thinking-the-unthinkable-what-if-the-us-defaults-\/\">default is unlikely, it should not be ruled out<\/a>. As always, context is important. Investors would probably perceive any default to be a consequence of the fractious political environment rather than a fundamental inability of the US to meet its debt obligations. That being said, we still expect risk-off sentiment to grip markets over the coming weeks, which could be magnified by persistent concerns about the soundness of the banking system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-investors-portfolio-response\">Investors\u2019 portfolio response<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our message for investors therefore remains the same: hope for success, but plan for failure. Where possible, portfolios ought to be liquid and diversified to ensure capital can be redeployed quickly given the volatility seen during prior episodes of debt ceiling brinkmanship. However, it would be a mistake to assume that assets will perform as they did before. For instance, the rally in Treasuries during the 2011 standoff coincided with concerns about the eurozone debt crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-outlook-for-treasuries\">Outlook for Treasuries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it is conceivable that Treasuries could perform well over the coming weeks, this is by no means guaranteed. Our strongest conviction is to have an overweight allocation to gold, even in spite of the recent rally, as well as towards AAA-rated sovereign issuance such as German Bunds. Alongside this, we would also expect safe haven currencies such as the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc to perform well against the US dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-outlook-for-equities\">Outlook for equities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, equities will probably find themselves under the most pressure. But there is likely to be a wide divergence beyond the headline indices. Companies that have a heavy reliance towards US government spending or subsidies are likely to come under the most pressure. Whereas value stocks could hold up better, as&nbsp;should&nbsp;defensive and non-cyclical sectors such as pharmaceuticals<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strategic-opportunities\">Strategic opportunities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, for those willing to bet that Congress will manage to raise the debt ceiling in time, some investors may look to arbitrage the yield gap between T-Bills maturing before and after early June. Key to this will be timing, with the opportune moment being when concerns over the debt ceiling peak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are not yet at that stage, but it ought not to be far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"512\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/webimage-4D6BC1AA-AD0C-45EB-AC6E028829846A65.jpg\" alt=\"kinks in the Treasury Bill curve present arbitrage opportunities\" class=\"wp-image-190666 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/webimage-4D6BC1AA-AD0C-45EB-AC6E028829846A65.jpg 800w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/webimage-4D6BC1AA-AD0C-45EB-AC6E028829846A65-700x448.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/webimage-4D6BC1AA-AD0C-45EB-AC6E028829846A65-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/webimage-4D6BC1AA-AD0C-45EB-AC6E028829846A65-768x492.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; aspect-ratio: 800\/512;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted May 18, 2023 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.schroders.com\/en-us\/us\/individual\/insights\/us-debt-ceiling-deadline-understanding-x-date\/\">US debt ceiling deadline: understanding x-date<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The views and opinions contained herein are those of Schroders\u2019 investment teams and\/or Economics Group, and do not necessarily represent Schroder Investment Management North America Inc.\u2019s house views.
