The current decline in US manufacturing would be the first time since 1952 that Industrial Production has declined for four straight months without the US economy not being in recession.

Led by a 9.9% YoY crash in mining…biggest since 1983!
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck… it must be a recession?
