Recent market and statistical weakness has led to increased discussion of a possible US recession. In this column, I will argue that instead of a recession, we’re facing a situation similar to the mid-1980s, where the economy also experienced slowdown caused by high oil prices, a strong dollar slowdown and weak oil sector. But there is insufficient weakness – largely thanks to continued housing market strength and recent wage growth – for a recession to occur.
