First Quarter 2024 Quarterly Macro Themes

Research spotlight on what’s next.

Quarterly Macro Themes, a quarterly publication by our Macroeconomic and Investment Research Group, explores critical and timely areas of research and updates our baseline views on the economy.

  • While recession risk has been reduced, it is far from eliminated.
  • Despite some recent bumps in the road, inflation is heading lower.
  • Large and small companies face divergent challenges this year.
  • We expect commercial real estate-related stress to get worse.
  • Rising fiscal spending will eventually push interest rates higher.
