Mexico (America) fact of the day

Mexican non-oil exports to USA in December (y/y): -4.5%. Excluding autos: -8.7%.

That is from Genevieve Signoret, via this source.

It’s funny how these numbers seem to indicate someone is starting to enter a recession.  Who might that be?  Maybe it’s just noise, I don’t see any other mediocre economic reports wandering around these parts…  Or maybe it’s Mexico that’s the problem…
