This is not a meaningful phrase.
- endisneigh 4y agoSure it is, raising rates, e.g. 0.25 this time, 0.50 this time, etc results in increased likelihood of a recession. This is why the rate has been slowing down (e.g. 0.75 last time to a likely 0.50 this time) in order to have a soft landing.
- Supermancho 4y ago>>> will the Fed stop raising rates soon enough? >> This is not a meaningful phrase > Sure it is, No, it is not. You meant some sort of recession, as if thats an undesired massive financial correction. This has been a long time coming and is better in the long run if the correction happens sooner than later. Good luck with whatever.
- endisneigh 4y agoAh - a doomer. Carry on then.

Eight times a recession followed. The only true “soft landing” — as significant rate hikes with no subsequent slumps are called — occurred in 1994, according to a March 25 report by investment bank Piper Sandler. Not a sterling track record.
