WE’VE TEAMED UP TO BRING YOU MORE OF THE STORIES YOU CARE ABOUT
Regardless of the definition of a recession, the economy is slowing. The good news is that employment remains strong. The Fed continues to fight inflation by raising the Fed Funds rate and reducing liquidity. Have we seen the worst of inflation? Is the Fed’s aggressive inflation fighting monetary policy going to continue to weaken the economy? Will employment remain strong in the face of all of these uncertainties? Remember that the stock market is a leading indicator attempting to predict economic conditions 6 to 12 months out. And stocks begin to move higher long before recessions end. If you would like to discuss how you are positioned going into the second half of 2022 and beyond, give us a call.
