recession
Commentary focused on recession risk via commodities and China. Brent Johnson warned that oil or dollar moves outside a “band” can trigger global recession through either input-cost shocks or producer bankruptcies, with effects playing out over the next 3–9 months 1. Shanghai Macro Strategist said Chinese domestic demand is in “recession,” with retail sales and fixed investment missing, and that exports—largely AI-related to the US—are carrying growth, implying mounting odds of major policy action 3. Luke Gromen relayed a thesis some are floating that the US might want a worldwide recession via Hormuz closure to derail BRICS, but he characterized the war as “silly” and used an analogy to mock the idea’s prudence rather than endorse it 2.
