About one week later, economists raised concerns about a recession, CNBC reported:

U.S. stocks fell sharply on Monday as part of a global market sell-off centered around U.S. recession fears. Japan’s Nikkei 22 plunged 12% in its worst day since the 1987 Black Monday crash for Wall Street.

Fears of a U.S. recession were the main culprit for the global market meltdown after Friday’s disappointing July jobs report. Investors are also concerned that the Federal Reserve is behind in cutting interest rates to bolster an economic slowdown, with the central bank choosing instead to keep rates at the highest in two decades last week.

CBS News/YouGov polling shows that a near majority (45 percent) of registered voters believe their “personal finances” will be better off if former President Donald Trump defeats Vice President Kamala Harris in November. Only 25 percent say the same if Harris wins.

“STOCK MARKETS ARE CRASHING, JOBS NUMBERS ARE TERRIBLE, WE ARE HEADING TO WORLD WAR lll, AND WE HAVE TWO OF THE MOST INCOMPETENT “LEADERS” IN HISTORY,” Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday. “THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!”
