Why would they start QE? Fed rate is at 4% right now, there's more than enough room to drop rates if an issue occurs.
Given the data however, its unlikely to happen. We're currently at record employment levels. The expectation is for the rate to keep going up to maybe 4.5% next year, and finally that's when inflation is quelled, and we taper off rates sometime next year.
Of course, we need to keep up with economic data and see if these rate hikes have the desired effects.
