Larry Fink delivers an urgent recession warning — presented here through an AI-generated educational simulation. As he cautions that the economy may be very close to, or already in, a recession, this episode examines the key signals tracked by the world’s largest asset manager overseeing $11.6 trillion in assets. From CEO pessimism and policy paralysis to consumer sentiment reaching its second-lowest level since 1952, discover the five critical warning signs that help anticipate major market downturns — and why they were all flashing red in April 2025.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• Why "most CEOs believe we're already in a recession" (Fink's April 2025 conversations)
• The "canary in the coal mine" warning from airline industry executives
• How 90-day tariff pause actually increased uncertainty (counterintuitively)
• Why markets suffered steepest 2-day drop since COVID crash
• The consumer sentiment collapse: 11% drop to second-lowest since 1952
• Why $950 billion in BlackRock cash accounts signals danger, not opportunity
• How Fink sees "another 20% drop" as possible despite defensive positioning
• Why Fed is trapped: can't cut rates due to tariff-driven inflation
• The long-term buying opportunity framework (but short-term pain continues)
