Powell said inflation had ‘somewhat’ moderated but admitted that high inflation pressures means getting inflation back to the 2% target has a long way to go. At the end of 2023, the US Federal Reserve officials see inflation at 3.2% and 2.5% by the end of 2024, compared to the central bank’s target of keeping the inflation rate down at 2%. Whereas the officials see core inflation at the end of 2023 and 2.6% at the end of 2024.

“Additional Rate Hikes Possible”

The Fed officials warned that the central bank may not yet be done with raising interest rates, despite cooling inflation and the current pauses. This would add to the uncertainty in the market until the end of 2023, potentially benefiting Bitcoin, as investors might prefer risky assets in the Crypto Market. Interestingly, a majority of Fed officials forecast interest rate cuts in 2024.
