Wall Street Banks Say Markets Are Flashing Rising Recession Risk
Published On Mar 5, 2025, 9:15 AM
Wall Street analysts signal an increased risk of recession due to trade tensions and decreasing economic indicators. Recent data show a rise in the probability of recession, particularly influenced by tariffs on trade with Canada, Mexico, and China. Key economic insights include declining factory activity, waning consumer confidence, and a notable tightening in the labor market. Despite these concerns, some analysts suggest it may be premature to assume a severe downturn given current low unemployment rates and some stable economic metrics.
