Fed May Be Forced to Cut Rates in 2023: Academy's Tchir

The video discusses the recent drop in the unemployment rate to 3.5% and the potential for a soft landing in the economy. However, concerns are raised about worsening conditions, with inflation barely over 3% and weak data from ISM Services, ADP, and non-farm payrolls. The discussion shifts to the possibility of rate cuts by the end of the year, with a focus on whether quantitative tightening (QT) is more crucial than rate hikes or cuts. The speakers suggest stopping rate hikes sooner and concentrating on QT.
