US risking a second wave and a depression, Mark Zandi warns

CNBC reports that Mark Zandi of Moody's Analytics is getting increasingly worried states are taking a large gamble by reopening businesses too quickly.

He warns a spark in new coronavirus infections would send the economy further into tailspin - especially since there's no vaccine.

"If we get a second wave, it will be a depression," the firm's chief economist told CNBC. "We may not shut down again, but certainly it will scare people and spook people and weigh on the economy."

Zandi defines a depression as 12 months or more of double digit unemployment.

On Friday, the Labor Department reported the April jobless rate soared to 14.7%, and non-farm payrolls tumbled by 20.5 million. Both sets of employment data are post-World War II records.

"The market is casting a pretty high probability of a V-shaped shaped recovery," said Zandi. "The horizon may be a little short term: Next month, the month after, the month after that."

Zandi predicts jobs will start to rebound by Memorial Day weekend as businesses reopen. If there's no second wave, he estimates the gains will flow through the summer into early fall.

"After that, I think we're going to be in quicksand because of the uncertainty around the virus and the impact that it's going to have on consumers and businesses," he added.

For the economy to get back on track, he contends it's necessary to get solid progress on a vaccine. A delay or failure to come up with a vaccine within the next year or so would also cause a 1930s-type downturn, according to Zandi.

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
