BlockBeats News, April 21st, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said in an interview that the increasing or decreasing risk of a US economic recession could be triggered by just "one tweet."
He also noted that the current predictions for an economic downturn are still relatively optimistic. His comments revealed a more common situation in the financial markets, where Trump's remarks on social media can cause significant market volatility. Last week, he posted a statement regarding Iran's purported agreement to never close the Strait of Hormuz (although this statement has not been confirmed by Iran), which led to a rise in the stock market and a drop in oil prices.
Goldman Sachs spokesperson Tony Fratto said, "Anyone who watched the interview can clearly see that David was obviously joking."
