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)

Hong Hao: The correction in AI stocks is far from complete, and the rotation of capital from overheated sectors to undervalued sectors has not yet ended.

Renowned economist Hong Hao recently stated that the current pullback in AI sector stocks is a mid-cycle correction, not the end of the trend. Judging from South Korea’s KOSPI index, the overall sector correction is far from complete. Stock prices have already overpriced fundamentals in advance; technical adjustments will continue, with sharp short-term volatility and a temporarily downward-biased trend. Hong Hao believes market capital is rotating from overheated new tech sectors like AI and semiconductors to previously neglected old economy/traditional tech sectors—internet giants including Tencent, Alibaba, and Meituan have already posted notable gains. Logically, if one is bullish on AI’s productivity-boosting effect, one should also be optimistic about the old economy (as economic growth will ultimately drive consumption), expecting a broad-based rally rather than narrow speculation.

Kimi employees hit back at the White House’s allegations: Distilling a cutting-edge model in 15 days? That would require applying for a Guinness World Record!

U.S. White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Michael Kratsios claimed in a post that Moonshot AI (branded as Kimi) referenced Anthropic’s Fable while developing its K3 model, and built an internal platform for large-scale distillation of U.S.-based models. In a direct reposted response, Moonshot AI team member Randy Xia noted that Fable was only released on July 1, while K3 launched on July 15. Based on this timeline, Moonshot completed model research, distillation, training, and deployment in just 15 days. He quipped, “We trained a brand new cutting-edge model in only 15 days — that’s practically a Guinness World Record!”

The summit will send a strong signal to the market, boosting confidence in AI infrastructure investment, especially amid the current tech stock correction. (The Korea Times)
