They are all looking at the standard indicators and running their screeners and dutifully researching the tips they hear or read about in the media.

tRump-Mucus have committed themselves to colossal disruptions in government services, government expenditures, and government hiring at the same time they are upending business with big tariff taxes and overturning the labour market with ICE. Very little of this has crept into the hard data ... so far, nor has the market priced any of it in.

2025 is not a normal year. Way more abnormal than 2020, 2008, or 2001 even.
