The Recession Deniers – Is It Different This Time – Who Wins?
- Those scrambling to support the case that the US is not in a recession are missing the point – a spending slowdown is happening, and 1H22 will not be the “worst”.
- Still, we find pockets of extreme strength and related investment opportunities – agriculture and some energy transition sectors top our list.
- The wind and solar sector reaction to a favorable US climate bill will only persist if a raw material shortage and continued margin squeeze can be avoided.
- Energy remains uncertain, as a recession will curb oil demand, while European issues could support natural gas for years – a negative set-up for US chemicals.
- Otherwise, we discuss the drivers of 2Q earnings and what is driving 2H 2022 guidance – we evaluate more macro data and options for oil and gas companies.
Last week we discussed 27 Chemicals and related products and 123 Companies.
