The recession model's 49% reading may lead to a decline in stock prices, particularly in sectors sensitive to economic downturns, such as consumer discretionary and industrials, while potentially boosting safe-haven assets like gold (XAU) and bonds. The recent Iran war may exacerbate market concerns, leading to increased volatility and a flight to safety.
