January ISM – 54.1

The ISM report for January came out at 54.1 today. That makes for 30 straight months that it’s been above 50 which signifies an expanding economy.

Are we in a recession? Put it this way: The ISM has fallen between 53.0 and 55.0 a total of 101 times. Just two of those times have come during recessions.
