The Fed won't stop raising interest rates until core inflation is heading towards, and close to, 2%. Since inflation is a lagging indicator, i.e., it lags behind the business cycle, and although the US economy is slowing, it's still not declining, that implies that inflation won't peak for a few months yet. This increases the risk of recession in 2023 and suggests that asset prices have further to fall.
