"FRANKFURT: Signs that the United States is facing a hard landing from a serious housing industry crisis multiplied Wednesday as forecasters at a prominent bank said that the world's largest economy was in or near a recession.
"Recession has now arrived or will very shortly," Jan Hatzius, the chief U.S. economist for the investment bank Goldman Sachs, wrote in a report Wednesday. Goldman is forecasting a "mild" recession contraction lasting two to three quarters.
Sentiment has grown markedly in the last month that the U.S. economy is in more serious trouble than previously thought. These fears have taken on new significance politically as presidential candidates on the campaign trail hear voters express mounting concern about the health of the economy."
