A lot of comments are saying that a recession is probable.

Can anyone shed a light on why that is/could be the case?




A recession isn't probable, it's inevitable. It's just a matter of how much sludge builds up in the economy before the over-leveraged have to unwind. That's the business cycle.

Covid19 and the ensuing fall in global demand is simply another blob on the pile.


Recessions happen every 4 to 7 years. We haven't had one for 11 years.
