Recession Alarms Ringing

A new Economic Data Report from Axios.com just three hours ago once again can send off alarm bells ringing:

Economic data is pointing downward and investor sentiment is turning negative.

Driving the news:

Perhaps most worrisome is the massive pile of highly-leveraged debt that continues to grow. Bank of America-Merrill Lynch's monthly survey finds that corporate leverage is the top concern among investors surveyed for the first time since 2009.

• 52% of investors said they expect global profits to deteriorate — the most since 2008, according to Bank of America-Merrill Lynch's monthly survey of fund managers.
• 60% surveyed say global growth will weaken in the next 12 months, levels not seen since the financial crisis.
• U.S. manufacturing activity dropped in December by the most since October 2008.
• 2018's Treasury auctions saw the weakest demand since 2008, Bloomberg reported earlier this month.
• The yield spread between 2- and 10-year U.S. Treasury notes is the thinnest since 2007 and the yield on 2- and 3-year notes has already risen above that of 5-year notes, meaning a curve inversion 

 

UBS estimated in September that there was a record $4.3 trillion in lower-quality corporate loans and high-yield bonds — up from $2.4 trillion in 2010 — that could see rising defaults if the healthy U.S. economy starts to shake.

• “I view this as the most severe threat to the economy and financial system,” Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics, told USA Today in response to the UBS figures.
• Former Fed Chair Janet Yellen warned in a recent interview, “I am worried about the systemic risks associated with these loans. There has been a huge deterioration in standards; covenants have been loosened in leveraged lending.”

Still, there seems consensus among many in the market that it's not yet time to panic.

Theresa May says it is clear MPs do not support the deal.
However, she says that "tonight's vote tells us nothing about what it does support, nothing about how or even if it intends to honour the decision that people took in a referendum".
"EU citizens here and UK citizens in the EU deserve clarity as soon as possible," she says, as do businesses and ordinary people.
CLARITY?? NO CONFIDENCE IN HER GOVERNMENT ....How much more clear can they get
The focus now is confirming whether the government still has Parliament's confidence, she says, and the government will make time tomorrow to debate a no confidence motion if one is tabled by the Labour party.
