Energy prices will fall when economy goes into recession, analyst says

The Schork Group Principal Stephen Schork argues recession is 'unavoidable' as U.S. grapples with rising energy costs.

As inflation continues to stifle U.S. economic growth, some experts are sounding the alarm on a potential recession as a result of surging energy prices due and the Russia-Ukraine war.

Stephen Schork, principal of The Schork Group joined "Mornings with Maria" Thursday to provide insight on a key indicator that may signal an impending recession, something he claims is "unavoidable" at this stage for the country.

"Energy prices are going to fall. The bad news is they’re going to fall because of recession," he warned.

"Consumer incomes are falling. They've fallen 13 out of the last 14 months as a result of this runaway inflation. That can only translate down the road into an economic downturn sooner… 6 to 12 months, rather than later, 18 to 24 months."

Meanwhile, the World Bank recently announced a decline in global growth, particularly in Europe and China. Schork pointed out that rising inflation will be a "tipping point not only for a recession here in the United States but elsewhere."

"If we sneeze, the rest of the world catches a cold… So if we’re going into recession… Europe and China are certainly going into recession… The economic slowdown is coming, but inflation is not falling fast enough."
