"...With respect to the current economic and financial market cycle, our Macro Team’s most differentiated view remains that the U.S. economy is in the early innings of a #LateCycle Slowdown, which implies domestic economic growth has moved past peak and is likely to decelerate on a trending basis into an eventual recession – likely commencing in mid-to-late 2016. Our #EuropeSlowing theme – whereby our models are forecasting a sustained deceleration from cycle-peak rates of European economic growth toward a likely recession as early as 1H16 – continues to register as fairly non-consensus as well."
