Goldman Sachs has become the second Wall Street bank this week to declare the US economy is headed for recession this year. The bank's chief US economist, Jan Hatzius, argues that the latest economic data shows recession has now arrived in the world's biggest economy - or will shortly.
Goldman Sachs warns of imminent US recession

The world is facing the most potent cocktail of economic and political risks for a decade in the wake of the credit crisis, an authoritative report has warned. A potential recession in the US and the knock-on effects of a collapse in asset prices, such as housing and shares, could throw the world economy into chaos, says a study from the World Economic Forum.

There are those in the Square Mile and down at Canary Wharf who believe the Bank of England will today announce back-to-back cuts in interest rates for the first time in more than six years. There are those who think the nine-strong monetary policy committee will wait for another month at least.
Quarter-point cut is half likely

Mortgage lenders should pass on the benefits of interest-rate cuts to their customers, Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling said yesterday, amid growing pressure for rates to be reduced again tomorrow.
