Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller, founder of hedge fund Duquesne Capital, recently said that “Our central case is a hard landing by the end of 23. I will be stunned if we don’t have a recession in ’23.”
Even if a catastrophic recession somehow doesn’t hit the world, high inflation, soaring commodity costs, and plummeting currency values worldwide will ensure global economies will continue to struggle.
The real question isn’t whether a downturn is coming. It’s how long it will last.
Is a “dead decade” on the horizon? While most investors are used to recessions that take a year or two to recover from, there’s also a chance this upcoming meltdown could be a much longer-lasting affair.
