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)

Bonk Guy again calls for buying USELESS: Could be a DOGE/PEPE-level opportunity in this cycle

Renowned trader Bonk Guy posted that: “I have been observing and trading meme coins across three consecutive cycles. Over the past few years, I have publicly called nearly every meme coin rally that hit a multi-billion-dollar market cap, and have repeatedly turned positions worth tens of thousands to over $100k into profits of millions, even tens of millions of dollars. What I’m telling you now is: USELESS could be a notable DOGE/PEPE-style opportunity in this cycle. Whether you believe it or not is up to you—but many will likely end up entering at a much higher valuation level.”
