Point of View: The Federal Reserve Has Over-Eased, with a 65% Chance of Stagflation in the United States

2025.04.18 15:48:23

On April 18th, Adam Posen, who has held positions in the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England, stated in a speech this week, "We may be on the verge of a recession or we might not. Nevertheless, in either case, we will be confronted with inflation." Posen, currently serving as the President of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, wields significant influence. He believes that there is a 65% probability of a recession. Regarding the Fed, Posen thinks that given the still relatively high level of inflation, it has cut interest rates too vigorously. Once prices start to rise again, the Fed may not be able to keep pace with the changes. As a consequence, the Fed may be compelled to raise interest rates rapidly and significantly, thereby placing additional stress on the economy. If all these scenarios were to come to pass, Posen said that repairing this damage could take several years or even longer. (FXStreet)

CZ: Retail traders participating in trading should pay attention to position control and can start with a small portion of their funds.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 23rd, sharing key advice for retail crypto traders. He stressed that crypto trading requires both a learning process and strict risk management. “Don’t put all your money—especially funds you care deeply about—into crypto,” CZ said. “Start small, testing the waters with a tiny portion of your capital first.” He added a cautionary analogy: “When trying something new, never dive in headfirst. If you can’t swim and jump straight into a deep pool, you’re not going to have a good time.”

Ray Dalio: Suggests Buying Gold as Global Currency Order Is Unraveling

**On January 23, Ray Dalio—founder of Bridgewater Associates—told the World Economic Forum in Davos that the global monetary order is collapsing, trust between the U.S. and its allies is eroding, and he recommended buying gold.** For years, fiat currencies and bonds acted as a "piggy bank" for many—but central banks worldwide now question if that piggy bank could be a "bomb." Dalio noted that in 2025, the asset poised for the biggest gains won’t be tech stocks—it’ll be gold. U.S. market performance has also started lagging behind foreign markets, and the world is entering a capital war. Gold’s rise isn’t just about price: it’s a standoff between U.S. Treasury bond holders and the U.S., which keeps printing dollars with no end in sight. The U.S. fears a selloff of dollar assets, while bond holders are anxious over the Federal Reserve’s endless money printing. It’s time to consider what to do if no one wants to buy U.S. Treasuries in the future.
