The most predicted recession ever maybe won’t happen. Get ready for the ‘asset class recession.’
Read Original Source
The most anticipated recession in recent U.S. history might not be as imminent as once thought, if historically low unemployment sticks around the way it has been. CEOs seem to have wised up to this, with a huge dip in mentions of a looming economic downturn during recent earnings calls.
AI Summary
Main Idea: Marc Rowan and Apollo Management say the U.S. may avoid a standard recession, but investors could still face a painful “asset class recession” if stock and asset prices keep falling.
Key Points:
- The article says the long-feared U.S. recession may not happen if low unemployment continues.
- Even without a broad economic slump, a sharp drop in asset values could hurt people who depend on investments.
- Stock ownership is widespread, with about 61% of U.S. households invested, making market losses more painful for many families.
- Rowan and Apollo economist Torsten Slok argue that high rates and the Fed’s fight against inflation could keep pressure on markets and extend the downturn in asset prices.
Impact on the People
Negative Impact
If Marc Rowan and Apollo Management are right, falling stock and bond values could hurt households that rely on savings, pensions, and 401(k)s even if unemployment stays low.
Positive Impact
Low unemployment may keep many workers' paychecks steady and limit the damage to the broader economy.
