Are we getting closer to a peak?

While monetary policy tightening phases can be painful for stock and bond market returns, we may be closer to the end of the Fed's rate-hiking campaign than the beginning. Market expectations currently call for the Fed's final rate hike to occur at their February 2023 FOMC meeting. Historically, when the Fed's policy rate peaks, market performance is quite strong in the 12 months that follow: Since 1980, S&P 500 returns during this period have averaged about +15%.

While every cycle is unique, given the negative returns and sentiment this year, markets may certainly welcome a potential pause in Fed tightening.
