All eyes are on the U.S. Federal Reserve as it attempts what many are calling a tightrope walk—raising interest rates just enough to slow the economy without triggering a recession in the hope of achieving an economic soft landing. As a result, factors are facing a similar balancing act. On one hand, the interest rate hike presents tremendous opportunity but, on the other, seeking to capitalize too quickly could spell trouble down the line. Tune in to find out what steps you should be taking to ensure a soft landing during and after this economic turmoil.
