Soft Landing Talk Prompts 1990s Flashbacks

Updated Dec. 28, 2023 4:11 pm ETTalk of a soft landing for the U.S. economy has investors dreaming of a 1990s-style boom soon afterward.

They wreaked havoc on markets that year, but were soon followed by the dawn of a golden period for both Wall Street and Main Street.  Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
