Rosenberg concludes that not one of the indicators is pointing to a recession, so there's a zero percent chance of recession.
Here are the indicators. Note that the first part of each indicator is what we'd need to see to be worried, and the second half is the much less worrisome actual data.
1. Inverted yield curve - despite the decline in bond yields, the spread between the 10 year US T-note and the three month T-bill is 244 points.
2. Morgan Stanley Cyclical Stock Index down more than 10% - the index closed at a record high on Monday and is up 4.9% year to date.
3. Bond yield rally of at least 135 basis points - the 10 year T-note yield has fallen 56 bps from the recent peak of 3.04% hit at the end of December.
4. Commodity prices down 5-10% - the CRB spot commodity price index is just off a two year high hit in May and is up 9.3% year to date.
5. High yield corporate bond spreads widen out 350 bps or more - spreads have continued to narrow and currently sit at almost seven year lows.
6. ISM below 50 for at least on month - the ISM manufacturing index just ticked up to its highest level so far in 2014 at 55.4 in May.
7. Initial jobless claims (four week moving average) up 75K - the four week moving average of initial claims fell to 311,500 in the week of May 24th, the lowest level since August 2007.
