    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A recession is likely to hit the US economy in 2024, a new economic model highlighted by the economist David Rosenberg suggests.

    The economic indicator, which Rosenberg calls the “full model,” suggests there’s an 85% chance of a recession striking within the next 12 months.

    The model is based on a working National Bureau of Economic Research paper and consists of financial conditions indexes, the debt-service ratio, foreign term spreads, and the level of the yield curve.

    “The full model predicted the ‘soft landing’ we saw in 2023 — but now is saying that for 2024, recession probabilities are highly elevated,” Rosenberg said.

    The model utilized by Rosenberg also helps explain why the closely followed yield-curve indicator has so far been inaccurate in predicting a recession.

    “It also explains why the yield curve didn’t work as a recession predictor in 2017-19: easy financial conditions, extremely low debt service obligations, and favorable foreign term spreads offset the signal from the inverted U.S. yield curve,” Rosenberg said.
