While a financial crisis is not imminent, there are increasing signs of economic fragility, and many analysts believe the risk of a recession in the near future (late 2025 or 2026) has risen due to factors like high national debt, trade tariffs, and cooling consumer spending. However, some economic forecasts still predict continued, though slower, growth, suggesting a "softer landing" is also possible, according to U.S. Bank and Yahoo Finance. 
 
Factors increasing risk
  • High National Debt: 
    The U.S. national debt is at record levels, and the debt-to-GDP ratio is near historic highs, raising concerns about long-term sustainability and a potential limit on the government's ability to respond to future shocks. 
     
  • Tariffs and Trade Tensions: 
    New tariffs have the potential to negatively impact both consumers and businesses, and a trade war could further weigh on growth. 
     
  • Cooling Consumer and Business Spending: 
    Consumer spending is a major driver of growth, but some indicators suggest a slowdown, particularly for lower and middle-income households. Additionally, business investment has been stagnant outside of the technology sector. 
     
  • Labor Market Slowdown: 
    A cooling labor market, coupled with the impact of new immigration restrictions that are shrinking the labor force, could lead to slower hiring and greater job-seeking challenges. 
     
  • Market Volatility: 
    While not a perfect indicator, market volatility, a potential AI-fueled bubble, and high valuations could signal risk for investors. 
     
Counterarguments and alternative scenarios
  • Continued, Slower Growth: 
    Some forecasts, like those from U.S. Bank, project continued economic expansion in 2025, albeit at a slower pace. 
     
  • "Softer Landing" Possible: 
    Instead of a severe recession, the economy might achieve a "softer landing" as various factors balance out, notes Yahoo Finance. 
     
  • Central Bank Action: 
    The Federal Reserve has tools to support the economy, such as cutting interest rates, which could be used to mitigate a downturn. 
     
What to watch
  • Consumer Behavior: 
    Keep an eye on consumer confidence, spending habits, and credit card delinquency rates.
  • Unemployment Data: 
    Monitor the unemployment rate, as a significant increase could trigger a recession according to the Sahm rule. 
     
  • Market Performance: 
    Pay attention to the stock market for signs of significant drops or increased volatility, which could impact investor and consumer sentiment.
