Ed Yardeni: I Just Raised My Recession Odds

Ed Yardeni, President of Yardeni Research, joins Maggie Lake to assess whether the current inflation spike is structural or a passing shock. Ed has raised his recession odds from 20% to 35%, but still gives 60% to his roaring 2020s thesis, crediting productivity growth that separates today from the 1970s. He explains why the Magnificent Seven's PE drop from 31 to 25 makes them attractive again, and how baby boomers' $85 trillion in net worth is quietly keeping the economy afloat. Ed lays out his case for both the S&P 500 and gold reaching 10,000 by the end of the decade. He warns the real danger is a layering of shocks: oil, inflation, AI displacement, and private credit, each manageable alone but potentially recessionary in combination.
