“We continue to think that we are now…on the cusp of seeing a meaningful slowdown, and that’s why our forecast is that we are going to see a recession at the tail end of this year and the next year , and so I think rates are peaking here,” said Sit, who expects a mild recession will spark a cut to interest rates from around 5.5% to 4.5%.
