to avoid a recession. War ends in Ukraine and grain exports resume and fuel prices come down substantially. China ends Covid lockdowns and its economy resumes growth. The Fed tames inflation with well-timed and appropriate interest rate increases. No other world crises that create a significant drag on major economies.

Definitely a long shot, IMO.
