Loan interest
Interest rates have been rising since March 2022 when the Fed started hiking them relentlessly.
  • Fidelity International's Salman Ahmed is predicting a recession on the back of high interest rates, per Bloomberg.
  • That's because the corporate debt that expires in the next few years will face higher refinancing costs.
  • About a quarter of US investment-grade debt is maturing between 2023 and 2025, per Fidelity.

The US economy may appear strong, but the Federal Reserve's relentless rate hikes may bring about a recession as they work through the system, according to one prominent economist.
