Bank of America warns that the U.S. economy could be headed for a recession, citing several worrying situations in manufacturing, the job market and global earnings.
The bank believes investors are too optimistic about rate cuts and not cautious enough about a possible recession.
There are 12 charts showing that the US is on the verge of entering a full-blown recession, including:
▪️ Decline in manufacturing activity
▪️ Decline in manufacturing often coincides with lower earnings
▪️ Global earnings pattern shows imminent decline
▪️ Steeper yield curve often precedes recession
▪️ Oil price
▪️ The job market usually follows manufacturing activity
▪️ Global house prices are falling
▪️ Credit crunch hurts the job market
▪️ Decline in European bank loans
▪️ Weak job market leads to big interest rate cuts
▪️Stocks fell after the last Fed rate hike in inflationary times
▪️ There is still significant potential for the S&P 500 to fall further
