Q2 2020 GDP Drop Could Be Contraction of the Century

This story was originally published here.

The first quarter (Q1) GDP numbers came out this morning, and they weren’t pretty.

The U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) dropped by 4.8% in Q1 on an annualized basis. That’s the worst that the U.S. has seen since the financial crisis in 2008. And yet, that’s nothing compared to what is coming…

The economic contraction didn’t really begin in earnest until the last two weeks of March. Up until then, the U.S. economy was stronger than ever. And if just two weeks of economic lockdown brings a 4.8% drop for Q1, we can imagine the impact in the second quarter (Q2).

Mohamed El-Erian, the chief economic advisor for Allianz, made a quick estimation on Q2 after seeing the results. He believes that the economic contraction in the U.S. could be as large as 40% in Q2.

I doubt it will be that bad, but I do believe that it will be the largest single-quarter economic contraction in the last century.

And what did the market do on the news? It rallied. Incredible… but for very different reasons.

Early data from Phase 3 clinical trials for Gilead’s remdesivir, which I’ve spoken about a few times on Glenn Beck’s radio and television programs, delivered positive results as a therapeutic approach to treating COVID-19.

We have a massive Q2 economic contraction to look forward to. It will be far worse than any of us have seen in our lifetimes. While a small number of companies are thriving through this crisis, like Amazon, most are getting crushed. We haven’t yet seen this reality in the stock market.
