Ok. IMPORTANT news før traders : The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and (Definitely Not) Celebration!
OECD — that’s the global group of economic overthinkers who still use fax machines has downgraded the U.S. and global growth forecasts, and folks… it’s not looking spicy. The U.S. economy is now expected to grow just 1.6% in 2025 and 1.5% in 2026 — or as economists call it: “Still moving... just in slow, awkward clogs.”
Well, according to the OECD, the culprits are:
Tariffs (aka “international middle fingers”). Policy uncertainty (aka “Will they or won’t they raise interest rates — the worst rom-com ever”). And possibly… Mercury in retrograde. (Still under review.)
In simpler terms: Imagine trying to run a marathon …but every few miles, someone changes the rules, taxes your shoes, and asks you to guess next quarter's inflation.
So remember, folks: It’s not a recession. It’s a... financially creative intermission. And now… back to your regularly scheduled financial panic!
