Forward guidance

PNC anticipates a recession starting in the spring of 2023, with a modest contraction in real GDP before recovery begins in early 2024. The unemployment rate is expected to increase throughout 2023, peaking above 5% in the first half of 2024. Inflation is projected to slow with the recession, returning to the Federal Reserve's 2% long-term objective by early 2024.

Tailwinds

  • The economy is expected to continue expanding in early 2023.
  • Inflation will slow with the recession.
  • The Federal Reserve is expected to lower interest rates in response to a deteriorating labor market and slower inflation.
  • PNC expects the FOMC to increase the federal funds rate by an additional 50 basis points by mid-March.
  • PNC expects a federal funds rate cut of 25 basis points in December 2023.

Headwinds

  • Economic growth is slowing in response to the ongoing Federal Reserve monetary policy tightening to slow inflation.
  • The housing market is already in steep decline as much higher mortgage rates have led to significant drops in housing starts, home sales, and house prices.
  • Other sectors where interest rates play an outsized role, such as business investment and consumer spending on durable goods, will contract in 2023.
  • PNC's baseline outlook is for a recession starting in the spring of 2023, with real GDP contracting a modest 1%.
  • The unemployment rate will increase throughout 2023, peaking at above 5% in the first half of 2024.
