Here is an interesting stance on the inverted yield curve...Kristina Hooper takes a look at other metrics in the economy that helps grasps the bigger picture.  Hooper makes it clear that we are in "unknown terrority" with our economy because of the escalating tariff wars.  She believes that by taking a look at the price of copper, Ism Manufacturing and Non-manufacturing indexes, the consumer expectations gap, and the Composite Index of Leading Economic Indicators that a recession does not appear imminent. What do you think about this type of analysis? Do you think these other indicators are fair enough to look at when it comes to a recession?
