The risk is that additional disinflation may occur by year-end and into 2025 and, therefore, monetary policy will be too tight as real rates rise. We believe that the likelihood of a recession, stemming from the rapid rate hikes, has been delayed but not derailed, as monetary policy works with a lag.
