Economic Growth Cooling Off

The podcast discusses the expectation of economic growth cooling off after a period of rapid growth in Q3. This cooling off is seen as a positive development, as it will lower bond volatility. Factors contributing to the cooling off include the tightening of financial conditions, the rise in mortgage rates impacting housing, student loan repayments, and the auto worker strike. The Federal Reserve also signals a reluctance to further increase rates.
