Investor Tom Lee has expressed his belief that the market's reaction to the Trump administration’s tariffs was overly dramatic.
In a recent interview with CNBC, Lee noted that the U.S. Federal Reserve is now positioned to lower interest rates, with inflation pressures showing signs of easing. He highlighted that the chances of a rate cut in May are rising, with predictions suggesting a 33% probability of a 0.25% reduction.
Lee also mentioned the concept of a “Trump put,” implying that the government may step in to stabilize markets if needed. He pointed to a recent incident where Tesla’s stock plummeted, only for Trump to comment on the situation, hinting at potential intervention in the future.
Turning to the stock market, Lee sees significant opportunities in undervalued stocks, particularly those that have experienced sharp declines. However, when it comes to cryptocurrencies, Lee cautioned that assets like Bitcoin may not be shielded from broader market volatility. He referenced technical analysis predicting a potential dip to $62,000 for Bitcoin by the end of March.
Despite this, Lee remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term value, emphasizing that even at $62,000, Bitcoin has shown remarkable growth from its humble beginnings. He believes that Bitcoin’s role as a store of value, akin to gold, will continue to strengthen over time, even if it faces challenges in the short term.
