WE’VE TEAMED UP TO BRING YOU MORE OF THE STORIES YOU CARE ABOUT
Investors are wondering if the Fed’s monetary tightening is going to help push the U.S. economy into recession. Heck, we might already be in a recession at this point. We do know that the Fed is trying to affect the demand side of the supply and demand equation. Consumption is a major factor in our country’s GDP. If the Fed is successful in reducing our desire to consume, is a recession in the cards? If the stock market is still a leading indicator, has it been predicting a recession this year? Investors have been grappling with inflation’s wrath in recent quarters and now a possible recession lies ahead. If you’d like to talk about how all of this affects your investments and your planning, give us a call.
