The CNBC Global CFO Council represents some of the largest public and private companies in the world, collectively managing nearly $5 trillion in market value across a wide variety of sectors. The first quarter 2019 survey was conducted between Feb. 7 and Feb. 22 among 54 members of the Council. Chief financial officers remain less convinced about the renewed U.S. stock market rally — and their recent concerns about stock valuations proved to be prescient. In the fourth quarter survey, CFOs told CNBC that it was more likely the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined to 23,000 than rose to 27,000. That survey was conducted shortly before the massive declines in December that saw the Dow touch a low just under 22,000.

Powell also expressed concerns about China and Europe.

Maybe not but that doesn’t mean the markets should go higher, there needs to be a consolidation and slow drift down, not whip everyone around on volatile trading coasters.
Yeah, where have I heard that before
No recession
Great. Now ask about earnings.
No recession in 2019 is a given! Need to worry about 2020 with extremists at all levels of politics. Uncertainty at defcon 5 levels in 2020.
And no one else on the planet did either.
Contrary to popular belief Corporations are reactionary not visionary.
Oh well that guarantees there will be then.
Sure, that's what they said until October '29 as well, and then again in '08 once we passed bills that protected U.S.
