During an interview on CNBC, Wharton's Professor Jeremey Siegel, who is also the Chief Economist at WisdomTree calls for 0.75% emergency rate cut by the FED.
He also says that there should be another 0.75% rate cut after the next meeting – and thats a bare minimnum as the rate should be between 3.5% and 4%.
Siegel also mentioned that at the june meeting Fed said when inflation reached 2% and unemployment has come up to 4.2% the long-term federal funds rate should be 2.8%.
The economist stated that last Friday that unemployment target was surpassed and reached 4.3%. The inflation has also dropped 90% from its peak and is near the target. In other words the United States “overshot” the targets.
The Fed wanted these targets to be fulfilled and then they would cut the rates – but they didn’t, which according to Siegel makes absolutely no sense.
Not only the U.S. but other economies are suffering, because of Jerome Powell’s irrational decision making and an emergency rate cut is to be expected, since everything has gotten out of the Fed’s control.
After a significant hack on Bybit that saw $1.5 billion in Ethereum stolen, several prominent figures in the Chinese crypto space have stepped in to assist the exchange by depositing ETH to boost its liquidity.
Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, recently shared an intriguing perspective on memecoins, linking them to Carl Jung’s theory of the “collective unconscious.”
Fundstrat’s head of research, Tom Lee, believes the US stock market is poised for further gains despite recent volatility.
Following a major hack that targeted Bybit on February 21, the exchange has managed to recover a significant portion of its Ethereum reserves, bouncing back to nearly half of its pre-attack levels.
