“The currency market and the bond market are telling you what [Fed Chair Jerome] Powell is going to…wake up to the GDP report and say, ‘Oh my God, I expected to miss, but I didn’t think I’d miss by that much,’” McCullough explains.
“We’re at 0.36% for GDP in the fourth quarter. People are literally going to be shocked if we’re right on GDP. It’s really not 2% and the consumer really is slowing.”
