Despite denial from Wall Street bankers and the central bank, the US stock markets have taken a hit, losing billions in market capitalization. While some banks have pushed out their recession forecasts, others predict a slowdown instead. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indexes have both declined, and even renowned investor Michael Burry has taken a bearish stance.
