21.01.2022 Recession is hitting retailers in the US Forever 21 is preparing to potentially file for bankruptcy, Bloomberg reported Wednesday afternoon, citing people famil...iar with its plans. The retailer has been exploring restructuring options to shore up its liquidity as it struggles with its business, CNBC previously reported. Those efforts though, have stalled, and the company’s focus has instead shifted to raising a so-called debtor-in-possession loan to fund a potential bankruptcy, Bloomberg reported. The newswire cautioned it is still possible it will be able to restructure its debt without filing for bankruptcy.

15.01.2022 Cash is not the answer to Recession Cash is still not the answer, despite looming economic uncertainty, according to UBS. We believe that investors can keep th...eir investment strategies on track for the long term even in the current uncertain times without retreating to cash, UBS global chief investment strategist Mark Haefele said in a note to clients Wednesday. Economic uncertainty reigns as the trade war between the U.S. and China has placed increasing strain on the global economy, prompting policymakers to respond with interest rate cuts and stimulus measures to bolster growth. Investors are searching for safe havens amid the uncertain landscape; however, Haefele said a retreat into cash is not the solution. A high allocation to cash over the longer term increases the risk that investors will fail to achieve their financial goals, he wrote. Instead, the firm recommends a broad range of defensive strategies to protect long-terms gains, such as high and sustainable dividend stocks and gold. Dividend investing is a defensive investment style that generates regular cash flows for investors and tends to outperform when markets are volatile, said Haefele.

10.01.2022 New recession warning: The rich aren’t spending The rich have cut their spending on everything from homes to jewelry, sparking fears of a trickle-down recession... that starts at the top. From real estate and retail stores to classic cars and art, the weakest segment of the American economy right now is the very top. While the middle class and broader consumer sections continue to spend, economists say the sudden pullback among the wealthy could cascade down to the rest of the economy and create a further drag on growth. Luxury real estate is having its worst year since the financial crisis, with pricey markets like Manhattan seeing six straight quarters of sales declines. According to Redfin, sales of homes priced at $1.5 million or more fell 5% in the U.S. in the second quarter. Unsold mansions and penthouses are piling up across the country, especially in ritzy resort towns, with a nearly three-year supply of luxury listings in Aspen, Colorado, and the Hamptons in New York. Retailers to the 1% are faring the worst, with famed Barney’s filing for bankruptcy and Nordstrom posting three consecutive quarterly declines in revenue. Meanwhile, Wal-Mart and Target, which cater to the everyday consumer, are reporting stronger-than-expected traffic and growth.
