After the latest data showed the US economy slowed sharply in the first quarter, Wall Street experts are voicing renewed warnings about the risk of a deeper downturn in the coming quarters. Billionaire investor Stanley Druckenmiller, Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson and economist David Rosenberg are among those who have just sounded the alarm on an oncoming recession. At the same time, others including Nobel laureate Paul Krugman think a 'soft landing' - or a mild and non-disruptive slowdown - is still a possibility.
Main Idea: Stanley Druckenmiller, Mike Wilson, and David Rosenberg are warning that the US economy may be heading into a recession, even as some other experts still see a soft landing.
Key Points:
Recession warnings from Druckenmiller, Wilson, and Rosenberg could make consumers and small businesses cut spending, and a weak job market could mean fewer hires or layoffs.
Soft-landing hopes and slower labor cooling could keep inflation and job losses from getting much worse.
