Goldman Sachs CEO: The risk of a recession in the United States is high or low, possibly "just one tweet away."

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said that the risk of a recession in the US could suddenly increase depending on how the US government reacts to the Iran war on social media. The risk of economic downturn could either rise or fall with just "a single tweet". Currently, predictions for a recession remain quite low. Sudewei said that it would be reasonable for oil prices to stay around $80 to $100 per barrel in the next three to six months, but if the situation escalates significantly, oil prices could rise to $170 per barrel. If energy prices remain high, it could have an impact on the economic data released later this year.
