Morgan Stanley's Chief Investment Officer, Mike Wilson, warns of an impending earnings recession due to declining inflation. He attributes this to the boom-bust cycle caused by expansive fiscal policy during the pandemic and tight monetary policy over the past year. Despite these warnings, investors continue to invest in stocks due to cooling inflation and a strong economy. Wilson's team also highlighted the risks if fiscal spending is reduced due to political or funding challenges.
