3. Central banks across the world have been aggressively hiking interest rates as inflation rose to the highest levels in decades. Now, the headline inflation seems to be easing, causing a sharp decline in global longer-term interest rates and boosting financial markets in advanced economies and emerging markets alike.

5. But some say that a recession has always been preceded by good employment numbers. See the chart on recessions and employment rate.

6. Food for thought. This chart visualizes greenhouse gas emissions per kg of different types of milk. Looks like cow’s milk causes the highest emissions and oat milk the lowest.
