Recession A recession is a period of reduced economic activity. It is typically defined as two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth, as measured by a country's gross domestic product (GDP). A recession is typically accompanied by a drop in the stock market, an increase in unemployment, and a decline in consumer spending. While recessions can be difficult for individuals and businesses, they are a normal part of the business cycle and are often followed by periods of economic growth.
Stocks slipped this morning after Friday’s jobs report signaled economic softening, triggering rate-cut hopes but also recession fears. Nasdaq leads the decline, with Tesla and Netflix dragging tech lower. Tariff fears and Fed minutes loom large this week.
