Sure 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.

>>> 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.
