The era of cheap money is over. The global economy is very fragile with very high government debt, inflation, bloated stock markets what gorged themselves on that cheap money, high energy prices and the risk of war in Europe. Are we about to have another crash?
Are we heading into a global recession?
- Thread starter Purple
- Start date
We had a very severe, sharp, deep, but short recession in 2020.
Surely there won't be another one two years later???!!!
The Fed increasing interest rates is in response to strong economic growth and rising inflation.
It is a good sign that QE is being phased out, that is a signal of a return to normal.

Quoting from there:
So a recession is *definitely* on its way. I'll better dust off my own crystal ball though...
A bit more to it than that though, in the article that it.

Perhaps.
Market events and geopolitical developments could claw back the run up in asset prices we have seen in the last decade.
It could even be severe enough to dampen the enthusiasm of the AAM 1%'ers pushing for wealth taxes

I'm around since the early 1950's and as far as I am concerned we've just being going for one recession to the next. Recession seems to be our normal position regarding international/national finance. We've got over every recession in the past; we'll get over the next one whenever it comes. Don't go looking for one though; it'll find you soon enough. We live in precious times and let's keep them precious.
A crash in what?
House prices? = no, as there isn't excessive credit or construction
Comm property prices? retail property values are falling, already
Share prices?
I'm asking a question here, not offering an opinion.
We are very exposed to international factors so demand within the domestic economy isn't be the main driver.

Earnings for end of Q4 2020 are coming out. Apple exceeded their projections with $123.b bn in revenue in the final quarter. Fed is taking measures to curb inflation and wage demands. ECB won't until next year.
Wondering what is going to cause the recession?

Whatever about recessions, I'm off to the Canaries for a few weeks on Tuesday next. I'll see what happened to the bit of money I have invested when I get back. If it has increased I'll be off again sooner than most, if it's gone then so be it. No big deal, we'll survive. On a brighter note, the Easter eggs are in Tesco this morning where I live, hope they all hatch.

One where you don't lose your job.
Dot come crash - guy sitting next to me loses his job (+12 others).
Post 2008 crash - I lose my job (+120 others).
It is hard to tell the future.
Of course there will be a recession, but whether the will be next year or in a decade who knows.
Personally I was expecting inflation to soar after interest rates were slashed and CBs started increasing money supply in 2008, I am still waiting, maybe this year.
