According to the latest economic data, US core personal consumption expenditure inflation is expected to reach a year-over-year 2.98% in December, approaching the 3% threshold. Meanwhile, the GDP growth forecast for Q4 2025 remains at 2.1%. It is worth noting that this forecast has not fully accounted for the potential negative impact of a government shutdown — estimates suggest that such an event could drag down GDP growth by about 1.2 percentage points. The combination of slowing economic growth and high inflation is reshaping market expectations for Federal Reserve policy.

Damn, another rate cut? Inflation is still at 2.98% and GDP is only 2.1%... With this combination of measures, Bitcoin should be taking off soon, right? My crypto holdings are ready.

Oh my god, can the government shutdown really knock 1.2 percentage points off? Then it would drop directly to 1%. Who can withstand that?

Inflation is about to break 3... The Federal Reserve is going to have a hard time now. Cut interest rates? Don't cut interest rates? Both are traps.

Inflation is almost at its peak, but GDP is still dragging on. This is what stagflation feels like... However, if we really count the government shutdown, does the Federal Reserve need to be more worried?
