US GDP remains stubbornly strong, as does the job market. The set of layoffs in the tech sector has yet to translate into jobless claims, and the Fed needs and wants unemployment to rise for inflation to come down. GDP growth is holding steady in the US and seems likely to avoid a recession in the first half of the year, if at all. Earnings season is progressing apace, and Tesla (TSLA) has been the latest to break records. However, companies are setting a much lower bar, and the outlook so far has been negative.
