That's not all. The eerie rhyme of 2007-2008 isn't the exclusive domain of the stock market. Recent economic data continues to confirm our Macro team's dour outlook for the U.S. (the probability of an outright #Recession in Q2 or Q3 of 2016 is rising).
Today's Consumer Confidence reading did little to change our opinion. U.S. Consumer Confidence slowed to 92.2 after registering it's cycle high in FEB of 2015. Remember: Consumer Confidence slowing from its cycle peak = 1 of Top 3 leading indicators for US #Recession.
