Wall Street breathed a collective sigh of relief last week on better-than-expected inflation figures. The SP 500 rose 3.1%, breaking its 3-week losing streak. The Fed, it seems, might be pulling off a “soft landing.” It’s a possibility, even if it’s a remote one. The Fed raised interest rates by 3% in 1994 without triggering a slowdown. And 6% mortgage rates today have already started cooling the housing market, as my real estate agent kindly reminds me every time we talk. But 1994 was also an outlier among recessions, much like when I scored 185 in a game of bowling. Nine of the past eleven rate hikes since the 1960s have ended with some economic slowdown, and today’s inflation rate is far higher than the 5% seen in the 1994 cycle. In other words, we’re not out of the woods just yet.
