Why are people calling for a market crash when the fed raises rates this year?

Realistically, aren’t they going to do this very slowly not to spook markets?

Further, will a gradual increase of 0.20 per quarter or whatever that big of a deal?

Hasn’t this happened before, and there wasn’t really a crash but a temporary correction?

Thanks.

Yes, the fed will be careful about raising rates specifically because raising them too quickly would be unwise. The fed is very much aware of that, and generally tries to communicate clearly and ahead of time what they are going to do so markets are prepared.

There are always people predicting all kinds of things, the vast majority of them are not worth paying attention to.
