Summary:[...]an economic cycle doesn’t end simply because it is lengthy, but economists are increasingly becoming concerned about the effects of tariffs on economic growth and stability, the impact of reduced fiscal stimulus from the tax cuts and spending plans in 2019 and beyond, and a broader global economic slowdown.
