On December 20th, at the "Alpha Summit" co-hosted by Wall Street Watch and the China Europe International Business School, Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, stated that the United States will experience what is known as a rolling recession, but there will not be a comprehensive economic recession, as the potential sources of economic recession have passed. He noted that if the Federal Reserve insists on cutting interest rates, it may only increase the likelihood of inflation, leading to a resurgence in some inflation.
