  • Investors are scrambling to make sense of the on-again, off-again nature of Trump's tariffs, the Fed's next moves and geopolitical uncertainty.

The article from Forbes, published on March 17, 2025, discusses several warning signs indicating an impending recession in the U.S. economy. It highlights a significant drop in consumer confidence, which has reached its lowest level in years, driven by persistent inflation, rising interest rates, and increasing job insecurity. Key indicators include a sharp decline in retail sales, a contraction in manufacturing activity, and a notable inversion of the yield curve, where short-term interest rates exceed long-term rates, traditionally a reliable predictor of economic downturns. Additionally, the article notes a surge in credit card debt and delinquencies, alongside a slowdown in housing market activity due to higher mortgage rates. These factors collectively suggest that the economy might be heading towards a recession, with businesses and consumers alike bracing for tougher economic conditions.
