CoinWorld News reports that on April 21, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon stated in an interview that the increased or decreased risk of a U.S. recession could "be triggered by just a single tweet." He also mentioned that current forecasts for a recession remain relatively optimistic. His remarks reveal a more widespread situation in financial markets, where statements on social media, such as those from Trump, can trigger sharp market fluctuations. Last week, he posted a statement regarding Iran's agreement to never close the Strait of Hormuz (though this statement has not yet 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 that interview could clearly see that David was obviously joking."
