Expert Commentary
8) Schroders Strategist Tina Fong: Why This Economic Cycle is Different?
Tina Fong: Recessions, however, are usually accompanied by a meaningful pick-up in the unemployment rate, and this has not occurred. Instead, the unemployment rate is at a multi-decade low. Indeed, the strength of the labour market speaks of an economy in its expansion phase, albeit now clearly pushing at capacity limits. Other economic indicators, however, such as business surveys (deteriorating) and the rate of change in inflation (still accelerating), suggest an economy already experiencing that particularly difficult type of slowdown, stagflation.
