Part 6/7:
According to recent surveys, concerns regarding a potential recession have risen among investors, influenced by speculations around trade policy and tariff implications. While GDP growth forecasts have been adjusted downward due to these concerns, many analysts remain optimistic about a potential recovery, expecting that subsequent quarters could see higher growth rates driven by consumer spending and overall economic resilience.
Inflationary pressures have been perceived as less of a concern in light of tariffs, with most experts suggesting that these will lead to sustained pricing adjustments rather than persistent inflation. Analysts are divided on the Federal Reserve's actions in the months ahead, with many anticipating rate cuts in response to evolving economic conditions.
