Stocks and cryptocurrencies experienced declines following recession warnings from JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs.
JPMorgan Issues Recession Warning, Probability Increases!
JPMorgan has raised the likelihood of a recession in the U.S. economy from 30% to 40%. The bank’s economists highlight that rising interest rates, declining consumer spending, and global economic uncertainties are contributing to this risk. Following this announcement, a widespread sell-off was observed in the markets.
Similarly, Goldman Sachs stated that the likelihood of the U.S. entering a recession within the next 12 months has increased. Investors are reacting to the rapidly changing market conditions and reassessing their positions.
