A recessionary storm could be forming off into the distance amid a host of inflationary and geopolitical concerns, warns strategists at Goldman Sachs.

"We now see the risk that the U.S. enters a recession during the next year as broadly in line with the 20-35% odds currently implied by models based on the slope of the yield curve," said Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatzius.

As the Western world scrambles to defend Ukraine by locking down Russian money, the company is acting as a broker between Moscow’s creditors and U.S. investors, pitching clients on the opportunity to take advantage of Russia’s war-crippled economy by buying its debt securities low now and selling them high later, according to four financial world sources familiar with the strategy.
