Rare to see: Fed is actively hiking rates (blue line) while GDP is contracting (bottom) … typically in prior recessions (red bars), Fed has been cutting rates as GDP has declined pic.twitter.com/nmrYG3TBc0

B of A: “The recent debate about whether the US is already in a recession is a distraction. Rip roaring payroll, strong GDI and strong final sales all suggest ‘recession’ is still a forecast, not a reality.” [Harris] pic.twitter.com/kuKQ9ry8De

Stepping back from the ultra high frequency debates this picture from @WSJ is a great reminder of just how much better economic policy has gotten over the last eighty years compared to what came before. Both better understanding and institutional progress. https://t.co/RBlb89Z6hT pic.twitter.com/X9p5CLn46I

The S&P 500 gained 3.9% on the day of the Fed hike and following day.
That is officially the best rally after a hike going back to 1970 (Bloomberg data).

5. There has never been a recession without a 4Q GAAP EPS decline. In most recessions, Y/Y EPS growth has ⬇️ <-20%.
That's critical because the market tends to⬆️ faster when EPS growth is ⬇️(markets anticipate reversals), EXCEPT when EPS growth has been <-20% (SPX -9.8% GPA). 5/5 pic.twitter.com/5NN7K5yAcW— Ed Clissold (@edclissold) July 25, 2022
