BlackRock fixed income chief Rick Rieder thinks the Federal Reserve can stop raising interest rates, though it probably won't.
The fed funds rate, used as a benchmark for many forms of short-term debt, currently is targeted in a range between 5.25%-5.50%.

Rieder said he expects the Fed to start cutting at some point, but probably not until the latter half of 2024.
