6/6
TL;DR: Cutting rates into rising inflation = short-term sugar rush, long-term stagflation hangover. Tight policy cools demand without crashing growth. Watch FOMC dots. #FedWatch #Inflation

Only cut if inflation’s pure supply-shock & growth’s collapsing. If core PCE >2% and rising? Hold or hike. Dual mandate says price stability first. Markets price 25-50 bps cuts in ‘25—data could flip that script.

Dangers:
✅ USD weakens → imported inflation (oil/food up)
✅ Asset bubbles (stocks, housing)
✅ Inequality widens (rich get richer)
Easy money now = “higher for longer” pain later.

Real rates go negative (nominal < inflation). Savers get crushed, debtors party. Signals Fed’s soft on prices → expectations unanchor. Once people expect 5-6% inflation, it’s baked into contracts & harder to kill.

1970s proof: Fed cut rates from 9%→4% as inflation hit 6%→11%. Took Volcker’s 20% hikes + deep recession to fix it. Cutting now risks the same wage-price doom loop: workers demand raises → firms hike prices → repeat.

Bitcoin (BTC/USD 114,964, +3.3%) held firm inside 108k–120k. Acting as “digital gold,” it followed equities and bullion higher. Watch $119.7k for breakout; $108.5k for support. ₿
