Geopolitical Tensions, Not Interest Rates, Now Seen as Main Risk to U.S. Economy The landscape of the U.S. economy is currently a blend of optimism and caution, according to a recent survey by the National Association of Business Economics (NABE). Only about 25% of business economists anticipate the United States entering a recession this year, suggesting a more positive outlook compared to previous expectations. This optimism is rooted in the belief that if a downturn were to occur, it would likely be triggered by external shocks, such as geopolitical tensions with China, rather than domestic issues like the higher interest rates seen in recent times. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts IMF's Brighter Global Outlook: U.S. Strength and China's Stimulus Lead the Charge READ MORE NYCB in Crisis: CEO Steps Down as Losses Mount to $2.7 Billion READ MORE ECB Resists Market Pressure for Interest Rate Cuts READ MORE The Great American Housing Squeeze: Construction Costs Out of Reach for Most READ MORE Markets underestimate risk of inflation re-accelerating, says PIMCO READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
