Is China Already In A Recession & Will The US Terminal Fed Funds Rate Be Above 4.5%?

Is China Already In A Recession & Will The US Terminal Fed Funds Rate Be Above 4.5%?

China has yet to release its 3Q22 GDP numbers. While this is historical, looking at Xi Jinping's speech thus far emphasising security over the economy, does this imply slower GDP for the years ahead? With inflation running wild in US, there is a chance the Fed Funds rate could breach 5%. For answers, we speak to Vishnu Varathan, Head of Economics & Strategy, Mizuho Bank.
