Recession odds just skyrocketed up to 80%, says former Reagan economist ...
Quick Glance: Recession odds have risen to 80%, according to a former Reagan economist and hyperinflation expert.
  • On Friday, a top economist who forecast rising inflation this year before a "whopper" of a recession reaffirmed his prediction.

  • Hanke is a member of Milton Friedman's monetarist school of economics, which believes in the "quantity theory of money": essentially, an equation concerning how quickly money enters the economy (the "money supply") and the resultant inflation.

  • "They don't want this link to be visible between the money supply and inflation, because if it is, the noose is around their neck," Hanke continued.

  • "Powell does not have the money supply on his dashboard."

Quick Glance: Disappointing Q1 Economic Growth and Implications
  • The U.S. GDP grew at a rate of 1.6% in the first quarter, falling below expectations due to slower inventory replenishment and weak export growth.

  • Despite the disappointing growth last quarter, this could potentially alter the views of Fed officials who were not keen on cutting rates following an upsurge in consumer prices.

  • Some analysts believe that the weaker-than-expected report indicates the beginning of a broader economic slowdown.

  • The report also highlights the performance of other sectors of the economy, such as the surge in housing construction, business investment growth, slower government spending, and the impact of trade on economic growth.

  • The depreciation of Asian currencies against the U.S. dollar and potential actions by monetary authorities are at the forefront of Asian markets.

  • Post-market gains from U.S. tech giant Meta could impact Asian markets as shares dropped by 10% after trading hours.

  • Concerns surrounding currencies are escalating as the dollar breached 155.00 yen on Wednesday without any indication of intervention from Japanese authorities. Will Tokyo take action?

  • Given the current environment that led to a rare joint statement on exchange rates from the United States, Japan, and South Korea this month, no possibilities can be ruled out.
