The 5 Best ETFs to Buy Now for December 2022

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said on Wednesday that the central bank could slow the rapid pace of interest rate hikes at its December meeting while indicating a protracted economic adjustment to a world where borrowing costs remain high, and inflation comes down slowly.

After the Fed Chair’s speech suggesting slower rate increases, stocks rallied. The three major indexes, the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq Composite, have climbed 9.7%, 8.1%, and 9% over the past month, respectively.

Despite the recent market rally, many experts have pessimistic predictions for the following year. Jake Jolly, a Senior Investment Strategist at BNY Mellon, said, “Our view is that this is not an enduring rally. The odds are there’s going to be a recession next year, and that’s going to pressure risk assets like equities.”

Moreover, Deutsche Bank forecasts a recession in the United States next year. “We see major stock markets plunging 25% from levels somewhat above today’s when the US recession hits, but then recovering fully by year-end 2023, assuming the recession lasts only several quarters,” said David Folkerts – Landau, Chief Economist at Deutsche Bank.
