UCLA ANDERSON FORECAST IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE FINK CENTER FOR FINANCE & INVESTMENTS PRESENT
December 2019 Economic Overview

 

The volatility of financial markets in 2019 has given pause with respect to recession probabilities and the future of asset markets. Will the whipsaw of bond and equity prices continue? How will the Fed react in an economy with good employment numbers, but elevated risks. The December 2019 UCLA Anderson Forecast will untangle many aspects of these questions, including the relationship between the financial and real estate sectors as it looks to the economic and financial outlook for 2020.

Key Topics
  • What is a recession and who needs to worry about it?
  • What are the prospects for a recession soon?
  • Will the 10-year bull market in stocks continue into the new decade?
  • Have interest rates bottomed or are they headed for zero?
  • Is California's GDP still growing?
  • When will the housing market recover?
  • Can California solve the housing affordability crisis in the next few years?
