The global economy seems trapped in a "death spiral" that could lead to further weakness in oil prices, recession and a serious equity bear market, Citi strategists have warned.

White House is ecstatic upon hearing this.

Citi: World economy seems trapped in 'death spiral'

A lousy bunch of words to see in a single headline on FR.

Especially "death spiral".

Is this just promotion for a new movie or TV series or something else like that?

[jonno]

“seems” & “could”

[LegendHasIt]

[Milhous]

Allow me to fix that headline.

Who would have guess that moving the United States so much closer to socialism would produce a global economic death spiral? That is, as liberals always seem to say when their policies are implemented, unexpected!

[PGR88]

consumers, companies and governments around the world are burdened by huge amounts of DEBT, courtesy of central banks around the world.

The response of central banks will be to make debt even cheaper, if possible (negative interest rates) and ignite inflation in any way possible.

Its a war on the middle-class, savers and workers, for the benefit of statists, progressives and leftists in government.

Now wait just a minute. President Cameldung was just on a tv press conference and he was talking about how great the economy is and unemployment was down to 4.9%.

So somebody has got to be lying. Who is it?

How sad.

[Jane Long]

Thanks for the ping.

Hasn’t Trump been warning us about all/most of this?

[HarleyLady27]

SEEMS is the key word.

...and Japan was destroyed by a giant radioactive tsunami. Turning to sports, here's Biff with a look ahead to Sunday's Super Bowl game.

People on here just love to repeat bad news or anything in your face. I’ve seen the “Carter Would Pick Trump” headline at least ten times in what seems like every day for a week.

Makes me mad every time I see it because what Carter said is not what they would have us believe.

I do think the economy of the world is in for a long bear market and there is hardly a single thing that can be done about it. I think we are in for a global depression. In the quest for equality there are no exceptional areas, no lifelines and everything that was up has been pulled down to a very low global average.

Easy. Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines prepare accordingly.
