- Persistent inflation has left the Fed with little choice but to continue its recent run of large interest rate hikes. With monetary policy now firmly in restrictive territory, we expect a moderation in inflation … but at the likely cost of weaker job creation and slower growth. – Brian Nick, Chief Investment Strategist, Nuveen
- Our view is that the peak in the Fed funds rate will occur during 1H 2023 and that, while a pause in the Fed’s tightening cycle is likely at that point, inflation will be strong enough to preclude rate cuts – Bob Doll, Crossmark Global Investments.
- Inflation is becoming more broad-based and isn’t going away easily. We see a 25% chance of a U.S. recession in 2022 and a 65% chance in 2023. Europe is likely to enter a mild recession around year-end. – Vanguard
