US recession and stock market. Thomas Barkin, Fed: Recession is virtually impossible

The U.S. recession and the stock market are closely linked. The key U.S. stock market indices – Dow Jones, NASDAQ and S&P 500 – have resumed their growth, and this movement already raises a lot of questions. To remind you, the U.S. stock indices have been rising for several weeks in a row and even updated their previous local highs, recovering by 40-50% after falling in recent months.
Thomas Barkin, one of the members of the Board of Governors of the Fed, said that inflation is declining because of the leveling of demand. He is probably referring to the core rate, which has really stopped rising. But the core continues to be at its highest level in 40 years, and we wouldn’t say at this time that inflation is slowing.
On US recession news Barkin also said that inflation will not fall immediately, sharply or quickly, and that the Fed is unlikely to get help from supply chain fixes or other world events. He also noted that the U.S. economy is not in danger of a recession, and at this time there is only a slight slowdown in GDP growth, as a recession is not possible with 400,000 new jobs created each month (NonFarm Payrolls).
In light of this statement and earlier statements from Powell and Yellen, Friday’s NonFarm Payrolls report becomes even more important than before. Recent reports have indeed shown the strength of the U.S. labor market, but what if Nonfarm Payrolls start to decline? What will the Fed members say then, how will the U.S. stock market move? We still believe that despite the strong upward correction, there is still a long way to go before the downtrend is over.

U.S. budget deficit totaled $262 billion in February

According to a report from the U.S. Treasury Department, the U.S. budget deficit in February was $262,434 billion compared to a $38.8 billion deficit in January. The Dow 30 also had problems.
Analysts at DailyFX suggested that the nation’s budget deficit for February was expected to be $256 billion. A year earlier, in February, the U.S. posted a budget deficit of $216,590 billion.
According to the GAO report, U.S. government spending rose 3.5 percent year over year last month to $524.548 billion, while revenue, in contrast, declined 9.5 percent to $262,114 billion.
Earlier, the U.S. edition of the Washington Post published an editorial stating that the new draft budget proposed by the Biden administration undermines U.S. national security and its ability to invest in the future, because it suggests a further growth of the U.S. national debt.
The WP editorial board noted that the new draft budget assumes a $2 trillion budget deficit, including due to the high cost of providing health insurance to the elderly of the baby boomer generation.

The EU has agreed to reduce energy consumption by 11.7% by 2030

The European Union has agreed to reduce the bloc’s energy consumption by 11.7 percent by 2030, Reuters reported.
“This will mean a real change in favor of the climate and to the detriment of Putin,” the Danish Niels Fulsang, the European Parliament’s lead negotiator, told the agency.
Initially, in 2021, the EU proposed to reduce consumption by 9%, but in May 2022, against the background of events in Ukraine, increased the target to 13% to quickly abandon Russian energy, writes Forbes. The European Parliament considered it necessary to reduce consumption by 14%. The DAX Index also had problems.
Some EU countries have continued to insist on a 9% cut. An all-night negotiation between the EU and the European Parliament resulted in a compromise: the energy consumption of EU end-users, such as households and businesses, must be 11.7 percent lower than expected in 2030.
The agreement must pass final approval by the European Parliament and EU countries before it can become legally binding.
Earlier, we reported that consumers expect lower inflation in the eurozone, higher wages.
