On the news front, when asked if the United States could be heading into a recession, President Trump said, "I don't like predicting that kind of thing. We are going through a transition because we are doing great work, we are bringing wealth back to the United States, and that's a big deal." Although he did not directly acknowledge the risk of an economic recession, investors did not interpret this statement optimistically, and market panic spread.
