There is an saying: The stock market is not the economy. The US economy is still growing faster enough for corporations to fight off the effects of inflation. (People / workers are a different social and economic issue.) The Fed will continue to raise rates and wind down its balance sheet in an orderly manner. Eventually, after enough rate rises, inflation will slow, and the economy will reach a new equilibrium between growth, rates, and inflation. This is all a normal part of an economic cycle.

Inflation will already slow (oil stopped going up), GDP prints are coming in negative, rates are only now accelerating while economy is slowing down. How this doesn’t end in a recession is beyond me. Mortgage workers have been laid off already due to that. Real economy is next on a lag due to demand destruction.

Recession needs just two quarters of negative gdp. Q1 had negative growth. So will q2. We are already in a recession

jury is still out on q2, I expect sub-1% growth, so technically not a recession, but it hardly matters. it's going to be interesting for the next 4 quarters anyway.
