The Stock Market As The Fed Turns Hawkish

There were two quarters of market contraction, which is an indicator for a recession. There are still inflation and negative wage growth worries. Investors can be defensive, but consumer confidence is at an all-time low," says Greg Swenson. </p><p><br></p>
