A survey of CEOs found that executives of major firms are now expecting a recession in the near future, according to the Conference Board measure of CEO sentiment released Wednesday.

About 57 percent of respondents expect inflation to come down “over the next few years,“ while noting that the economy will suffer a ”mild recession“ that will last a ”very short” period of time due to rising interest rates.
