The Federal Reserve has recently announced its 10th rate hike in an effort to curb inflation, leading analysts to predict a potential recession in 2023. It's important to remember that recessions are a normal part of economic fluctuations, with the US having experienced 13 since World War II. Attempting to time recessions or markets is impossible, and making significant portfolio moves can be challenging even for professional investors. Jerome Powell's recent comments may suggest a pause in future rate hikes, and overall, we maintain a positive outlook for the US economy and stock market.
