Summary
Economists warn that the risk of a U.S. recession is rising due to Trump’s unpredictable tariff policies.
Wall Street stocks fell sharply Monday, with the S&P 500 down 2.4%. Trump refused to rule out a recession, instead claiming it’s a “period of transition.”
Goldman Sachs raised recession odds from 15% to 20%, and Morgan Stanley cut its 2025 GDP forecast. Consumer confidence hit a four-year low, and the U.S. trade deficit widened to a record $131 billion.
Analysts say Trump’s tariff policy is fueling uncertainty and economic instability.
In what currency though? Because Trump keeps signaling he’s going to crash the dollar out of sheer incompetence.
All currencies are fucked if the world’s reserve is fucked. Besides, I’m trading those dollars for equities.
