Martin Enlund: FX: what if a US recession?Nordea
The start of the year has been troublesome for many investors, and fears of a US recession have been on the rise. Conventional recession indicators such as the yield curve are not indicative of a new recession any time soon, nor do we think a US recession is brewing. Even so, we took a look at what normally happens during US recessions.

Continued risk-off mood, lift of sanctions on Iran send oil prices lower, Chinese GDP ahead * US manufacturing sector in recession * US 10-year breaks through 2% intraday * EUR/USD higher on disappointing US retail sales

Daily ShotTF
Stock markets and crude oil plummeted on Friday and betting against the US Federal Reserve's interest rate forecast gained momentum after worse-than-expected US industrial production capacity utilisation and New York manufacturing reports. With oil at historic lows market-based inflation expectations have fallen. The implied probability of four or more US rate hikes in 2016 dropped to less than 1% and the probability of no hikes at all this year doubled in just two days.
