3. Bitcoin Sell-Off Continues Amid Market Turmoil

Bitcoin (BTCUSD) is falling to its lowest levels since November as traders sell off the pioneer cryptocurrency amid broader market turmoil. Bitcoin is trading at around $76,500, down about 18% year-to-date. The downturn took cryptocurrency-related stocks with it. Bitcoin buyer Strategy (MSTR) stock is down 9% in premarket trading.

4. Goldman Sachs Raises Recession Odds, Lowers GDP Outlook

Goldman Sachs (GS) lowered its outlook for U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) and raised its recession odds in a note Sunday night, as analysts continue to evaluate the Trump administration’s tariffs. Goldman now sees 2025 fourth-quarter U.S. GDP growing at 0.5% year-over-year, down from an earlier forecast of 1% growth. Goldman also lowered its full-year GDP projection to 1.3% from 1.5%, and raised its odds of a recession over the next 12 months to 45% from 35%.

5. JPMorgan’s Dimon Says Tariffs ‘Will Slow Down Growth’

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned that tariffs stand to raise prices on both imported and domestic goods, potentially derailing an already slowing U.S. economy. In his annual letter to shareholders released on Monday, Dimon wrote that while the tariffs could produce long-term benefits, the higher import taxes will likely cause short-term disruption. “Whether or not the menu of tariffs causes a recession remains in question, but it will slow down growth,” Dimon wrote.
