-
JPMorgan increased the risk of recession of the United States to 40% by 2025, compared to 30%, citing the “extreme policies of the United States” by US President Donald Trump as a key risk factor.
-
Goldman Sachs also increased its probability of recession from 12 months to 20%, compared to 15%.
-
At the beginning of March, Trump imposed 25% tariffs on all goods in Mexico and Canada, and 10% of Chinese import tariffs.
-
Canada and Mexico have announced intentions to impose retaliation rates on US assets, increase commercial tensions and generate concerns about a possible commercial war.
-
Meanwhile, China has already retaliation increasing tariffs on multiple American products and imposing export controls and investment restrictions on 25 US companies.
-
These tariffs are expected to increase consumer prices and contribute to the inflation of the United States.
The fears of the United States are affecting ethereum and the cryptographic sector, especially:
-
Ether, bitcoin and other high-ranking cryptographic assets have historically decreased during periods of economic turbulence, for example, the sale of COVID-19 in March 2020.
-
As of March 11, the 52 -week correlation between the cryptographic market and the US reference index, the S&P 500 index, was 0.69.

A consistently positive correlation increases the chances of a decrease in the cryptography market if US actions continue to fall, especially as the commercial war drags more thoroughly.
