Personal opinion, I don't think they will. Most data is pointing to a slowing economy. The only positive data has been the June and July employment numbers, but even then the underlying data wasn't great. Plus I've seen some people say that the June and July numbers heavily adjusted for seasonality, like even more so than usual. Maybe they raise rates one or two more times, but doing so in a slowing economy would be kinda terrible. I don't see how they even get close to normalizing our rates. That can't possibly happen until after the next recession.
