What assets survive in a volatile time?

AUSTIN, Texas, May 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In the face of multidecade high inflation, the Federal Reserve rapidly raised the federal fund's interest rates to the highest in over a decade. The stated goal for the Fed is to slow down economic activity enough to cool inflation without breaking the economy, creating a so-called "soft-landing." However, some analysts wonder if the rapid rate hikes could start a recession.

Signals such as declining manufacturing data and an inversion in the treasury yield curve indeed point to an economy on its way to a recession, if not already there. Yet, many economists are reluctant to use the "r-word" with any degree of certainty, while federal Reserve officials still aim for their soft landing. What exactly defines a recession, and is one inevitable?

In the latest episode of U.S. Money Reserve's "In Conversation," former mint directors and other experts discuss the true meaning of a recession and which assets in consumer portfolios are the most vulnerable.
