- CEOs are sounding the alarm on the economy, giving it the lowest rating since the onset of the pandemic in the spring of 2020, according to Chief Executive’s U.S. CEO Confidence Index. Just under half of the 220 CEO respondents also expect a recession to come in the next six months. This pessimism comes as markets teeter near correction territory following Trump’s mixed messages on the economy and tariffs.
