Market View: How are markets expected to react to US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's testimony, and is enough time given for markets to react to the US rate hikes?
US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell had given his most explicit acknowledgement to date that steep interest rate hikes could tip the economy into a recession, and it would be very challenging to achieve a soft landing.

But have markets been given enough time to react to the recent rate hikes, before the Fed is expected to further raise rates next month? And to what extent are markets expected to perform in the meantime? When will the US economy slip into a recession?
