Severe damage to global growth has been spotted – prepare for a rough ride in the months ahead. I don't think the policies were/are in place by CBs to counter this rapid slowdown. Any mol pol maneuver by CBs work in 4 to 6 months lags. pic.twitter.com/bUgEIspga3

As central banks around the world dive down the dovish hole once more, risk assets in the last several weeks have moved higher, however, today, that is not the case, as macro deterioration in EU supersedes CB talk to calm markets.

Powell says the economy is 'sound' the same time that the European Commission takes a knife to its continental GDP forecasts. As if the decoupling theme worked out well in the last cycle!

Banks tightening lending standards for consumers (barely positive now) … question is, will this be like mid-1990s when they went negative (alongside Fed rate hikes) without a recession, or all other times when a recession was looming? Perhaps too soon to tell. pic.twitter.com/fEXKi2Psak

Interest costs alone on the spiraling debt pile act as a tax on future GDP growth forever and offset all of it. How can the economy grow if its got a debt burden so high with interest costs greater than incremental growth? It can't, but don't ask economists 🤡 (= paid to lie) pic.twitter.com/yOCIaU2mBP
