Financial markets took a sharp downturn on March 10, with crypto and tech stocks seeing significant losses as recession fears intensified. JPMorgan economists raised their US recession probability to 40%, up from 30% at the start of 2025, citing economic policy risks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe see a material risk that the U.S. falls into recession this year owing to extreme U.S. policies,\u201d JPMorgan analysts wrote, <\/span>according to The Wall Street Journal<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n
