Fed’s Economic Challenges

The Kobeissi Letter analysts warned about potential stagflation in 2025, describing it as the Federal Reserve’s most significant challenge. Asset management firm Apollo published research suggesting inflation might rebound rather than decrease in 2025, potentially necessitating interest rate increases.

Ray Dalio, prominent investor, predicts an approaching debt crisis that could weaken the U.S. dollar. The national debt surpassed $34 trillion in early 2024, driven by:

  • COVID-19 stimulus spending
  • Rising interest payments
  • Increased government expenditure

Market Expectations vs. Reality

A Bloomberg survey indicates economists expect three rate cuts in 2025. However, the Financial Times poll suggests a more conservative approach, citing potential inflation risks from proposed policy changes.

XBTO’s Chief Marketing Officer, Haider Rafique, stated: "Investors should remain vigilant, as the Fed’s policy decisions are influenced by multiple factors, including inflation rates and economic resilience."

Former Fed economist Jonathan Wright noted: "Inflation has come down more painlessly than I and most people had expected, but I think we may still be seeing that the last bit [getting to target] will be a little harder."

FxPro’s chief market analyst, Alex Kuptsikevich, observed: "This is especially important after a three-week consolidation near the $100,000 level. An acceleration in growth is now likely if unexpected news from the traditional financial markets doesn’t stop this rally."
