The ECRI monitors leading indicators to indentify turning points in the economic cycle. ECRI has had a strong track record for identifying turning points, thus their warnings should be taken seriously.
Mr. Achuthan was on CNBC in early May stating that the ECRI was seeing large yellow flags on the horizon. Today, based on the leading indicators that the ECRI tracks it is seeing those yellow flag turn red (CNBC: ECRI Global Outlook).
