โพ Fear of stagflation
ย
Recently, US GDP data came in at 1.6%, which was almost 40% less than expectations.ย
ย
On the other hand, US core PCE rose from 2% to 3.7% (an almost 85% increase).
ย
This indicates a weakening economy with rising inflation, also called stagflation.ย
ย
Why is it bad?
ย
During a weakening economy, the FED usually makes rate cuts to boost the economy.ย
ย
During rising inflation, the FED usually does rate hikes to control the inflation.ย
ย
But right now, the FED is clueless, as both things are happening at the same time.
ย
During the stagflation era of 1970โ80, stocks were one of the worst performers.ย
ย
Given that crypto usually follows stocks, if the stock market takes a big hit, Bitcoin and crypto will dump even more.
ย
The next FOMC meeting is in 4 days, which will decide the fate of the market in the coming months.
