Does SPX vs PMI divergence signal upcoming recession?

No, not really. Only 3 of 7 divergences signaled recessions in the last 50 years. Besides, some recessions did not have any divergence.
So data doesn't support the recession is coming thesis.
Red flag -> Divergence with recession following
Green flag -> Divergence w/o recession
? -> No divergence signal before recession
