USDA economists see mild recession risk ahead
USDA economists John Kitchen and Gregory Gajewski say a mild recession is likely if stability holds and no major shocks occur. They compare current policy and economic trends to the late 1920s and early 1930s but find today’s shifts less severe, noting Fed policy, trade talks, and Gulf crisis as key uncertainties. They caution growth remains mediocre and future policy could ease if growth slows.
