Positive growth is not a decline. The decline is in the 2nd derivative, not in the velocity. You need 2 consecutive Q of NEGATIVE numbers. Not decreasing positive numbers.
Correct, which is why we aren’t in a recession YET.
Even if the Q2 numbers go negative when they’re announced later this month, we STILL aren’t in a recession unless the Q3 numbers are also negative.
