Blackrock
- The challenges society has experienced not just in the past year but since the pandemic has eroded hope and reinforced pessimism in many parts of the world. We’ve seen a decline in birth rates and an increase in aging populations, a rise in nationalism and populism, and I fear that we are entering a period of economic malaise.
JPMorgan
- The net reserve build of $1.4 billion was driven by updates to the firm’s macroeconomic outlook which now reflects a mild recession in the central case as well as loan growth in Card services, partially offset by a reduction in pandemic-related uncertainty.
Bank of America
- Our baseline scenario contemplates a mild recession … unemployment to peak at 5.5% early this year and remain at 5% or above through 2024. A mild recession in the base case and a worse recession in the adverse case that we weight at 40%.
Citigroup
- Therefore we continue to see the US entering into a mild recession in the second half of the year.
Wells Fargo
- While we are not predicting a severe downturn, we must be prepared for one. We feel prepared for a downside scenario if we see broader deterioration than we currently see or predict.
