"Markets trended lower in the early session of trading before eventually paring losses. The continuation of risk-off appetite follows the Fed's acknowledgment that a recession is 'certainly a possibility', and that a soft landing is 'very challenging'. The next couple of months will likely see continued weakness in the markets as we expect investors to take a more cautionary stance in the management of their portfolios.," the research team at CoinDCX tells Gadgets 360.
