Key quote
"Fitch expects the US to fall into recession in the first half of 2024."
"Federal Reserve “is now close to reaching a peak on rates and we expect just one more 25-basis-point hike to 5.75%. But core inflation is still high — particularly in services — and we have pushed back the date of the first Fed rate cut to May 2024.”
