After a comprehensive tariff order signed by President Donald Trump on April 2, Carsey predicts the odds of a businessman in the market to place the chances of a U.S. recession in 2025 at 61%.

Kalshi uses standard standards for the recession, which was reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce, for two quarters of gross domestic product growth.

The odds of the U.S. recession have nearly doubled since March 20 and reflect the current odds of the 2025 U.S. recession, which currently trades on the platform at 60%.

The rapid deterioration of the macroeconomic outlook for wide tariff orders by U.S. President Donald Trump and subsequent sell-offs in capital markets has sparked concerns about extending the bear market.

Trump’s executive order puts markets into chaos

The executive order of the U.S. President has established a benchmark tariff rate of 10% for all countries and has different “reciprocal” tariff rates on trading partners with existing U.S. imports.

Trump’s announcement triggered an immediate stock market sell-off, eliminating more than $5 trillion in shareholder value within a few days.

Concerns about the recession continue to grow as market analysts warn of a potentially protracted trade war that negatively impacts global markets and curbs risky asset prices, including cryptocurrencies.

Meanwhile, President Trump expressed confidence that tariffs will strengthen the U.S. economy in the long term and correct any trade imbalances.

“The market will flourish,” the president said on April 3. The current market sell-off is an expected part of the process.

Asset manager Anthony Pompliano recently speculated that President Trump deliberately collapsed the market to lower interest rates.

Pompliano cited 10-year decline in U.S. Treasury bonds as evidence that the president’s strategy to force the recession to have an impact rate is working.

Interest rates on U.S. 10-year bonds fell from approximately 4.66% in January 2025 to 4.00% on April 5. President Trump also put pressure on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to lower short-term interest rates.

“This will be a perfect moment for Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to lower interest rates,” Trump wrote in his April 4 social post.
