"Conversely, if the debt ceiling is lifted before the x-date, it will likely come with some concessions on the spending front which is likely a headwind for growth down the line," he added.Republicans, who control the House of Representatives, have said that they won't vote to lift the $31.4 trillion ceiling hit by the US on January 19 unless the Biden administration agrees to future spending cuts.

The Treasury would also likely respond to a lifting of the borrowing limit by issuing more bonds to start raising money to repay its debts – and investors piling into those would mean they had less cash to spend buying stocks, he added.
