There is a lot of doom and gloom out there right now. The stock market is in major pullback mode over a wide range of fears. One of the main ones is the threat of a recession coming next year. A lot of signs, like the inverted yield curve, are pointing towards an economic reversal. However, according to Barron’s, the reality is that a recession is unlikely. Rather, we will likely just return to the post-Crisis norm of slower, steadier growth (think 2.0-2.5%). A couple of factors will weigh on growth, including higher rates and a fading influence of the most recent tax cuts.


FINSUM: A return to normal growth seems about equally likely to us as a recession. No one really knows. A lot of it may come down to how hawkish the Fed is, as the central bank could easily steer the economy into a recession.
