Outlook for the Economy and Possibility of a Soft Landing or Recession
According to Professor Jeremy Siegel, there is a 50-50% chance of a soft landing or a recession in the economy. However, if there is a recession, it is expected to be mild. Professor Siegel also shared his outlook for the Federal Reserve, stating that the rates are currently high enough and the need to bring them down. He believes that there is a misconception that six rate cuts are necessary for a good year, explaining that the Fed will not raise rates this year and the market's expectation of six cuts is biased. He sees a regaining of value stocks' outperformance over growth stocks in 2024.
