A recession is a period of economic decline, typically defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. In trading, recessions are associated with reduced consumer spending, higher unemployment, and lower corporate profits. Traders adjust strategies during recessions by focusing on defensive stocks, such as utilities and healthcare, or by short-selling cyclical stocks. Understanding recession indicators, such as inflation and unemployment rates, allows traders to manage risk and position themselves for market recoveries.
