Morgan Stanley’s Chief U.S. Economist: “We Will Have a Hard Landing at Some Point — I Guarantee You That”

 During an interview with CNBC she warned that "The tightening impacts from monetary policy" will have enormous consequences for the U.S. economy in the months ahead. "We will have a hard landing at some point. I guarantee you that. We're all wondering: When does that come?" she said.

The consequences of interest rate hikes are felt over time.

Higher interest rates have certainly started to cause a lot of problems, but if rates are not brought down soon the level of pain that we are experiencing will begin to go up dramatically.

The Fed is not likely to reduce interest rates any time soon because inflation continues to run hotter than expected.

Citigroup is cutting nearly 300 workers in New York as it continues its massive layoff spree in an effort to rein in expenses, according to filings with the State Labor Department.

One prediction last year is the Fed not cutting interest rates in 2023.

The Fed didn't, and Morgan is still predicting there will be no Fed interest rate cut anytime soon.
