The federal reserve is largely expected to strike a wise chord when it meets this week and paves the way for a July price reduction – the first of more than a decade – that nearly 40% of the economists in a Wall Street Journal survey are expects.
While a hawkish Fed no longer weaves large over this aging bull market, Nouriel Roubini, NYU's professor of economics and perhaps media's favorite permabear, now says the world has an even bigger problem on their hands.
In our the day is called Roubini is investigating "the growing risk of a recession" and the ghost of the crisis in an already fragile global economy.
& # 39; A strong enough shock could trigger a global recession, even if central banks respond quickly. & # 39;
Last year, he announced 1[ads1]0 potential disadvantages that could lead to a global downturn next year. A friendlier Fed, he says, removes one of them, but the others are still stuck in games and have emerged as more dangerous than before.
"US stock markets have remained creepy since our first comment," he wrote. "Risks have been added to the rise of recent debt, including in many emerging markets, the amount of foreign currency denominated loans." 19659002] Among the major risks, the tension between China and the United States deserves special attention, Roubini says especially if they result in China retaliating by closing the market to US multinational companies such as Apple

"Under such a scenario, shocks to markets around the world will suffice a global crisis, no matter what the major central banks do, "Roubini warned. "And in view of the scale of private and public debt, another financial crisis is likely to follow."

"It can strengthen his domestic polls," he said. "But it can also trigger an oil shot."
Spiking oil prices and trade war, Roubini points out, is more than just a supply-side risk. They also threaten consumption growth – tariffs and higher fuel costs absorb disposable income. The result is that uncertainty builds, companies reduce capital expenditures and investments, and the major flushing begins.
No sign of shock to start the week, with markets around the world looking green over Monday's opening bell in the US.
