A recession is already here. Inflation is still high, although hope hopefully peaking. Realistically I don’t see the fed dropping rates until 2024-2025. What will it take for the fed to reverse course and decrease rates?

After todays announcement of a fed rate hike of 75 bps, Mortgage rates over the next couple of months will likely remain within 0.25% to 0.50% of todays range. Unless the fed throws a curve ball in their remaining meetings, the remainder of rate hikes have already been baked into mortgage rates currently being offered.

I have a lot of exposure to big tech and sp500 across my brokerage account and retirement accounts. I recently opened a Roth IRA and have 6k in it to invest.
