1. Declining GDP growth: If the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of a country starts to show negative growth or a significant slowdown, it could be a sign of an impending recession. 2. Rising unemployment rates: An increase in unemployment rates indicates that businesses are cutting back on hiring, which could be a precursor to a recession. 3. Inverted yield curve: When the yield curve inverts, meaning short-term interest rates are higher than long-term rates, it is often seen as a signal of an upcoming recession.

Mahn suggested that the market may have overestimated the Fed's ability to execute a soft landing, but anticipates that when the first rate cut occurs, both stocks and bonds will benefit.
