A string of interest rate hikes have not yet pushed North America into a recession, but another expert is cautioning that it's only a matter of time.
Speaking with BNN Bloomberg’s Paul Bagnell on Friday, John Zechner, chairman and founder of J. Zechner Associates,“I don’t see how we can possibly avoid going into a recession,” Zechner said. He argued that in the last four decades where an inverted yield curve has appeared – a graph that shows when short-term debt has a greater yield than longer term bonds – there has been economic contraction that follows.
Zechner added that the idea of the North American economy becoming less sensitive to interest rates is “absolute nonsense” and reasoned that the delay is merely a reflection of the federal stimulus provided during the pandemic. A sentiment also shared by Rosenberg.“We’re heading down into this period of sort of low growth, or no growth, that will in retrospect be defined as a recession,” Zechner said.
