Webinar Sponsored by United Agencies Insurance
Please join us on Tuesday, May 2, 2023 (PDT) at 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM for our next important webinar event entitled, “Rock You Like a Hurricane: Growth Prospects in Turbulent Times.”
2022 was beset by numerous challenges: a multi-decade spike in inflation, higher energy costs, unprecedented labor shortages, and a war in the heart of Europe. The Federal Reserve has embarked in the most aggressive rate-hiking cycle since the late 70s. This year started with echoes of a 2007-2009 banking crisis, when three US banks and an international globally systemic bank failed. Panic gripped the world that a new banking crisis was in the making.
The fundamentals of the economy seem strong — low consumer debt, low business delinquencies, relatively healthy labor markets — but fears are sky-high that the economy will plunge into a recession soon. Financial markets are jittery, the world is on edge.
There is no question that the path of this expansion has become much narrower now compared to a year ago. The hope is that the Fed will be able to engineer a “soft-landing,” cooling off inflation without throttling growth. Will it succeed? Will higher interest rates cause more bank failures? Will the economy manage to avoid a hard landing? Will growth continue? Will inflation recede? This presentation will address these issues and more, such as:
-
- Is the Banking Crisis Behind Us? Will there be more shoes to drop?
- Hard-landing or Soft-landing? Will the US avoid a recession?
- Will inflation be brought to heel?
- Could we head for a stagflation?
- Is the worst over for the stock market?
- Will labor shortages persist?
- Is the housing market slump over?
