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)

The Fed's December Rate Cut Expectation Rises, Bitcoin Temporarily Breaks $89,000, Nasdaq Up 2.69%

On November 25th, Federal Reserve Board Governor Waller expressed that he personally favors a rate cut at the December monetary policy meeting. Inflation has gone up, but he believes it will start to decline. January next year will be filled with challenges, with a large amount of data to be released one after another to determine whether another rate cut is necessary. Mary Daly, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and a FOMC voting member in 2027, stated that she supports a rate cut next month because she thinks the likelihood of a sudden deterioration in the labor market is greater than that of a sharp increase in inflation and is also more difficult to control. According to CME's "FedWatch," the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December has increased to 82.7%, while the probability of keeping rates unchanged is 17.3%. U.S. stocks closed on Monday. The Dow rose by 0.44%, the S&P 500 rose by 1.5%, and the Nasdaq rose by 2.69%. Bit
