Per Stirling Capital Outlook – November

A “soft landing” describes the always sought-after but historically elusive monetary policy outcome, where the Federal Reserve manages to raise interest rates and reduce economic liquidity just enough to slow down the economy and squelch inflation, but not so much that they overtighten policy and catalyze a recession.
