RISK OF RECESSION
The probability that the United States economy will fall into a recession in six months fell from 9% in December to 8% in January. The baseline at which a recession is expected to occur is normally 60%. This is the seventh decline in the past eight months and puts the probability of recession at the lowest level since 2015. Rising stock prices, a decline in initial claims, and an increase in housing permits contributed to this trend.
