Recession in the USA?
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon told CNBC on Monday that the US economy "is still doing well" but expects it to enter a recession in the next nine months, BBN reported.
Dimon warned that high inflation and rising interest rates, as well as the uncertainty surrounding the war in Ukraine, are "very, very serious things that I think will probably push the United States and the world - I mean Europe is already in recession - and they're likely to put the United States into some kind of recession six to nine months from now. "
Several US Federal Reserve officials said that the US could still avoid recession, and some stressed that even if the economy slipped into a recession, the bank should not stop at rate hikes.

What do Fed officials say about economic growth?
Federal Reserve vice chairwoman Lael Brainard said on Monday that the US central bank's move to tighten monetary policy would have a full impact on economic activity "in the coming quarters" and its pressure on prices "may take longer," the BBN news service said.
"The transmission of tightening policies is most evident in highly interest-rate-sensitive sectors such as housing," but the "moderate demand" that the Fed wants to see across the US economy, "so far has materialized only partially," she explained in a speech out of 64. The annual meeting of the National Association for Business Economics in Chicago, Illinois. Due to rising interest rates and changes in general financial conditions, "rebound in the second half of the year will be limited" and "real GDP growth will be broadly flat this year," Brainard said in a statement quoted by the BBN.
Recession -what could it mean for the markets?
Looking at business cycles, the documented economic recession phase could be characteristic of the late bear market phase. This may mean, in turn, that previously markets were in a bear market awaiting a recession. When this one actually shows up, the bear market may be in its final stage. Nevertheless, the bottom of a bearish market may also depend on how long the recession will last, how many quarters it will take, and how deep it will be.
