“The New York Fed publishes an implied probability of a recession that is based on the interest rate curve. As of today, that chance is 57% in the next 12 months, and this is higher to any point prior to 2008. Another indicator is an inverted yield curve. However, I am encouraged that global leaders are stepping up to manage the situation,” says Matthew Peterson.

HOW TO INVEST IN GOLD: Gold IRA Investing

The global economy is on a rollercoaster ride, with economists and analysts keeping a watchful eye on the future. The US-China trade war, Brexit saga, and the decline in global growth prospects have all contributed to a climate of uncertainty. As a result, the chances of an economic recession in the next year have increased to 57%.

A recession is a period of economic decline characterized by a decrease in gross domestic product (GDP), higher unemployment rates, and lower consumer and business spending. It can be caused by several factors, including inflation, high interest rates, or a decline in business investment. A recession can have a significant impact on people’s lives, leading to job losses, foreclosures, and financial instability.

According to a survey conducted by the National Association for Business Economics (NABE), 34% of the panelists said they expected a recession to hit in 2021, with another 38% predicting one in 2022. This is a significant change from the previous NABE survey in February 2019, where only 25% of panelists predicted a recession by 2021.

The US has experienced one of the longest economic expansions in history, with a record-breaking 126-month growth period. However, signs of weakness are beginning to emerge, including a drop in manufacturing activity, a slowdown in job growth, and the inversion of the yield curve. The yield curve inversion is when long-term bonds yield less than short-term bonds, which can be a signal of an upcoming recession.

The global economy also faces challenges, with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicting a decline in growth to 3% in 2019, the lowest rate since the financial crisis in 2008. The ongoing trade war between the US and China has led to increased tariffs, affecting businesses and consumers alike. Brexit also casts a shadow of uncertainty over the European economy, with the potential of a no-deal scenario resulting in economic damage.

Despite these ominous signs, experts caution against panicked reactions. It’s important to note that the chances of a recession are still below 50%, and the economy remains fundamentally strong. The unemployment rate remains low, and consumer spending is still robust. However, this does not mean that preparations should not be made.

Individuals can take steps to safeguard their finances in the event of an economic downturn. This includes paying down debt, building an emergency fund, and diversifying investments. Businesses can also prepare by maintaining sufficient cash reserves and avoiding high-risk investments.

In conclusion, the possibility of a recession in the next year cannot be ignored. Although experts predict the chances at 57%, it is important to remember that the economy remains resilient. Rather than panic, individuals and businesses should take prudent steps to prepare for potential challenges ahead.
