The rate tightening cycles in America in the past have been in the 18 to 24 months range. That would be September 2023 to March 2024 in a perfect world. No one in America believes Jerome Powell is serious about destroying inflation. They'll probably lie about the inflation rate (lower than it actually is) leading up to the November midterm elections in America this year then inflation will reaccelerate at the start of 2023. There's a good chance an 18 month GIC will be in the hiking cycle but if you're too late interest rates can air pocket quite fast.

Don't believe anything you read about yield curve inversions and recessions. With the spread between the true inflation rate and the Fed funds rate in America the widest in history a recession is impossible. The only way a recession could happen is oil prices go beyond the $200 dollar mark U.S. a barrel. $74 dollars a barrel U.S. is my guess for oil once the war in the Ukraine ends.
