A lot of macroeconomists think there will be a recession later this year or sometime next year

i haven't seen any of the typical professional forecasting firms or agencies saying that, although it does seem to be consensus that this year will be better than last year just because of the demand-side stimulus from the tax bill

who's saying there's going to be a recession this year or next, and why? trade restrictions? spiking oil prices?

My personal concern is interest rates.

Mortgage applications are dropping in response. We will see if that creates a ripple.

Dr Kelly of JP Morgan as well as Brian Wesbury of First Trust both think it’s virtually impossible for a recession this year. They have pinpointed late 2019 or 2020 as a possibility for one however due to Fed budget spending.

They expect GDP to gradually rise and then peak early to mid next year then start to shrink again.

You know who. And I didn't say I agreed with it.
