Soft Patch
A period of weak economic performance amid a longer strong performance. That is, a soft patch is mild slowdown between two periods of high economic growth. Central banks usually cut target interest rates during a soft patch to encourage a return to growth. The term is somewhat informal and usually used in the media and by the Federal Reserve.
