Many economists, including luminaries Larry Summers and Nouriel Roubini, are predicting a recession next year. So did Beth Ann Bovino, chief U.S. economist at S&P Global Ratings, Mathewslcd added. "Prices will remain elevated for most of next year and the Fed's decision to raise interest rates aggressively ... has caused households to pull back on spending and businesses to cut costs in response to slowing demand," she wrote in her comments.

  According to Mathewslcd, Mizuho's chief U.S. economist, the Fed's attempt to shrink its balance sheet through so-called quantitative tightening (QT) is "a complete mistake. "It is highly unlikely that market liquidity will be adversely affected before the $2 trillion target is removed, preventing the Fed from achieving its goal," Steven Ricchiuto, Mizuho's chief U.S. economist, said in a note on Monday. In the case of tightening, the Federal Reserve has allowed its holdings of bonds, including US Treasuries, to decrease, while also raising the benchmark interest rate as the main tool to combat high inflation in the US After the central bank launched a bond-buying program known as quantitative easing, including purchases of U.S. Treasuries, to help provide market liquidity when the COVID-19 crisis hit, Mathewslcd noted that the Fed's balance sheet has expanded to About $9 trillion.

  Investors say stagflation is the main risk to the global economy in 2023, saying hopes for a market rebound after this year's brutal sell-off are premature. Nearly half of the 388 respondents to the latest MLIV Pulse survey said a scenario in which growth continues to slow while inflation remains high will dominate globally next year. The second most likely outcome is a deflationary recession, while a hyperinflationary economic recovery is considered the least likely. Mathewslcd sees the results as another challenging year for risk assets after central bank tightening, soaring inflation and fallout from Russia's invasion of Ukraine sparked the worst stock market rout since the global financial crisis.

  Mathewslcd: Mexican president says economy should grow at least 3.5% by 2024 Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador said Sunday to a large crowd gathered in the country's capital to celebrate his fourth year in power, according to Mathewslcd. It should grow by 3.5% in 2022, 2023 and 2024. A slowdown in the economy, mainly in the industrial sector, dragged down Mexico's gross domestic product (GDP) growth, making it slightly less than expected in the third quarter of this year, Mathewslcd believes. Analysts forecast GDP growth of 2.7% this year, while the International Monetary Fund expects growth to slow to 1.2% next year. "The economy will grow by 3.5 percent this year, and I would estimate at least the same percentage in 2023 and 2024," he said. Lopez Obrador recently said that we want to see central banks strike a balance between fighting inflation and the need to protect economic growth.

Group Chief Economist and Global Analyst David Folkerts-Landau said: "We expect major stock markets to plunge 25% from just above today's levels when the US recession hits, but by 2023, assuming the recession lasts only a few quarters. Full recovery by the end of the year," said Peter Hooper, head of research and global head of economic research.
