The resumption of student loan payments combined with interest-rate hikes will fuel a consumer-led recession, David Rosenberg warned.
Rosenberg has been bearish on markets and the US economy for a while, and has faced backlash over it.
After a three-year pause, the federal government will start charging interest on federal student-loan balances once more, and student-loan borrowers will start making payments again in October.
The loan repayments, combined with higher interest rates, threaten to to trigger a consumer slowdown, Rosenberg said in a CNBC interview.
So, I think that it's going to be consumer-led," Rosenberg said, speaking about a prospective recession.
