The Fed gave us a clear ‘signal’ that wasn’t ‘noise’ today. The 4.4% unemployment rate call for year-end would take it 100 basis points above the cycle low. Back to 1948, that has never happened without an NBER-defined recession. By the time the jobless rate rises this much, the recession has already been in play, to everyone’s surprise each and every time, for five months on both a mean and median basis. The dot plots are still at two cuts for this year, but the historical record suggests that we are going to see a lot more because if past is prescient, the recession nobody believes will rear its ugly head will materialize as early as July.
