"... In the Chart of the Day, we highlight ISM Manufacturing data, which contracted for the first back-to-back month since 2009. As the chart highlights going back to the 1980s, this type of contraction typically precedes or coincides with a recession. The same scenario could be said for a slew of data including industrial production, capital investment, durable goods, exports, and the list goes on. In fact, of the 34 key economic data points we track for the U.S., 24 have gotten worse sequentially."
