# Goldman Sachs warns that the U.S. stock market could decline by about 20% due to "recession risks."

Goldman Sachs stated that the stock market faces a nearly 20% risk of decline, and a recession poses a significant risk to the stock market. In Thursday's podcast, Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatzius and Chief Global Equity Strategist Peter Oppenheimer appeared particularly cautious. Hatzius reiterated that he expects a 45% chance of a U.S. economic recession in the next 12 months. He acknowledged that recent data has been mixed, with weak soft data such as sentiment surveys and stronger hard data like the latest non-farm payroll figures. Goldman Sachs' Chief Political Economist warned that comments from the U.S. President regarding trade agreements with the UK suggest that many countries will ultimately face higher tariffs than before Trump's re-election.
