China's unemployment rate has risen sharply to 5.2%, surpassing the forecasted 5% and indicating a concerning non-linear increase. This pattern, often a precursor to recessions, echoes trends in the U.S. Significant portions of the global economy have become overly reliant on low interest rates, leading to a kind of "zombification." As central banks maintain higher rates, these fragile sectors may face collapse, potentially triggering rapid rate cuts and a spike in market volatility.
