We’ve got a heartache tonight … in terms of bank lending. Particularly commercial and industrial lending (C&I) and auto loans. Particularly since bank lending is the primary transmission vehicle for Federal Reserve policies.

C&I lending growth fell to 1.2% YoY, which has historically meant that a recession is close at hand.
