Some analysts even violated the drain of the economy, slow and poisonous scenario and high inflation would be high. In the 1970s, stagflation – combination of inflation and stagnation – was a Great economic crisis Double-digit inflation is characterized by steep interest rates and increasing unemployment.

A study in June Apollo Global ManagementThe chief economist warned Torsten Sløk on the ongoing risks. “Tariff walks are usually stagnant blows – they increase the likelihood of economic slowdown when pressing prices at the same time,” Sløk wrote. “Current tariff mode increases the chances of up to 25% in the next 12 months of the US decline.”

Stagflation is considered a worse economic forecast than a typical decline, because the government does not have effective policy recipes to manage it. “It may not be an easy way to stabilize money or finance,” he said James GalbraithLyndon B. Johnson University at Estin University Economy Prof.

Is there a risk of recession yet?

Rampant economic uncertainty frequently triggers recess Companies and households begin to reduce spending and investment. Unemployment rises during a recession and the price of goods begins to decrease. In general, banks are usually squeezing the requirements to minimize the risk of lending to possible borrowers on loans.

The economy is regularly experiencing periods of booms and busts, about five to seven years. “We are obliged to reset and slow down in the economy,” he said Greg sherDirect and NFM is a plaque.

Certain macroeconomic signs, such as reducing GDP Rising unemploymentconsistently in all recessions. However, each US decline is also unique with a different historical trigger. Subprine was the longest decline of 2007-09, which began with the collapse of the mortgage crisis and financial institutions. Covid-19 was the shortest recession of the pandemic decline, locking and 24 million jobs, records.

Work-level and middle-class households are experiencing daylight difficulty in a recession before Economic Research National Bureau The official call is. People in the margins live a slower recovery after the recession is over.

Relying on harsh data such as GDP and Employment Identify the redesessions It’s wrong. Because these figures look back, say where the economy is, wherever they are definitely. Many economists note that Unemployment is worse than the report of the title figures.

Some of the main warning signs of a recession:

GrooOBL Domestic Product Reduction (GDP)	A drop in the country (usually two consecutive quarterly) is the narrowing of the economy in the country.
Rising unemployment	When enterprises reduce costs, rents and washed for a steady period of time. Households get less income and spend less.
Reduction of retail sales	When people buy less goods in stores and online, the main driver of the economy shows the weaker.
Stock sediments	The significant and steady landing of the stock market prices often reflects the concern about the future of the investor’s economy.

Can we face stagflation?

Stagflation would mean that the prices will be less buying power as the price increases and the savings are more difficult. Things are difficult to find, hit investments and Interest rates may rise. Stagflation is usually “measured by”ointment“The total of unemployment rate and inflation rate felt by the average of the economic distress.

For decades, experts did not believe that the stagflak was possible for the basic principles of experience and demand. Usually, when more people get out of work, the prices fall down because the requirement of goods and services is low.

However, the stagflation began his head in the 1970s. The government debt, the debut, which fueled the Vietnam war, sent fuel to the abyss. Soon hit the energy crisis. In 1973, the OPEC’s oil embargo has resulted in a mass supply shock, inflation and depressive speech.

Official unemployment exceeds 9% Inflation continued to sound louder And as a result, 14% annually exceeded the year. In 1979, the second oil supply shock increased interest rates to mark the high level of high levels of federal reserves above 20%. When this approach is working to lower the inflation, he gave a heavy decline.

Most economists say that the possibility of entering the stagflation period is still very low, while others warn others like Sløk Trump’s Trading Policy fuel to the fire. At the same time, the dollar and basic financial institutions are in a stronger position than in the 1970s.

What role do the tariffs play?

Since February, new import taxes have been announced, delayed, removed and decreased by fast. If the tariffs are finally implemented as declared, the US imports will be the average interest the highest in the centuryHe witnessed during the great depression until the final levels.

Tariffs with import taxes from another country paid by the importer can have a similar impact on oil supply shocks, causing widespread violations and increases along the supply chains. Companies cause either local customers, more inflation, or cause investment and exit that causes investment and exit.

“Currently, large tariffs would not deteriorate only inflation – they could turn off a chain reaction of the economic problem that central banks and governments are not ready to manage,” he said. According to the poem, consumers have a wrong hypothesis that consumers are ready to pay a higher price of goods imported by tariffs. “Consumers will be more likely to sit in their hands and stop spending, which will then ignore the recession,” he said.

Tariff-related uncertainty has signs that cause cracks in the labor market. Unless unemployment is relatively low, currently 4.1%, according to the bureau of labor statistics, it is not possible to earn income currently.

Is there a solution for stagflation?

When imperfect, it is set up if there is a playbook to reduce the effects of a recession. The fed, which is responsible for maintaining price stability and increase employment, usually reduces interest rates to stimulate the economy and buoyma during decline.

When inflation is high, the Fed usually enhances interest rates to combat price growth and delay the economy and gives credit and Borrowing is more expensive for consumers and businesses. The two approaches cannot be accepted at the same time.

“Although prices are on the solid side, the growth was cooled from a very hot pace, the history of unemployment remains ruthless,” he said Keith gringingerHousing Market News on Hospital Assistant HSSHC. “At least, as yet, there is no clock.”

Ginginger said that stagflation is more attractive than a recession. There is a difficult way for the policies used to solve a problem often because it has worsened the other.

Right now The Fed is in a garden. Low interest rates can increase a weak economy, but can also confuse inflation. If inflation remains glue, the Central Bank continues to reduce the ratio of the bank. The president’s knee pink policy ads are becoming more difficult for politicians to delay or return them after a few weeks.

This kind of government may be paralysis Drive economic difficultyespecially for the most financially and socially sensitive populations. While the average recession lasted about 11 months, the last war in the United States lasted more than 10 years.
