Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, spoke with Bloomberg’s Erik Schatzker at the Economic Club of New York today. He warned that the U.S. is likely in a recession already. Fink said most CEOs he talks to agree the economy is struggling.
He blamed President Trump’s new tariffs for making things worse. Fink said these tariffs will raise prices and hurt the economy more. He also said the stock market could drop another 20%, even after falling 20% in just three days last week.
Fink sees a chance to buy stocks for the long term, but he’s worried about the short term. He doesn’t think the Federal Reserve will cut rates soon and even suggested rates might go up.
Despite the problems, Fink believes people and systems can adapt. He said humans are smart and resilient, and good outcomes can still happen. But for now, he sees tough times ahead.
