The S&P 500 could plummet 30%, a US recession may already be underway, and the Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut interest rates before the summer, a legendary market prophet has warned.
Gary Shilling, who served as Merrill Lynch’s first chief economist before launching his own consulting firm over 45 years ago, delivered the dour outlook on a Rosenberg Research webcast in late December. He rang the alarm on company earnings, touted government debt over gold, and predicted layoffs would accelerate in the months ahead.
