This prediction is kinda scary! The latest OECD report forecasts that the U.S. inflation rate will hit 4.2% by 2026! That’s a whole magnitude higher than the Fed’s own prediction of 2.7%, meaning the market’s original expectation of “rate cuts and liquidity easing” is indefinitely postponed. What’s happening? ╰┈✦ Middle East conflict: Oil and natural gas prices are soaring, energy inflation is making a comeback ╰┈✦ Trade friction: Tariff policies combined with supply chain pressures are putting costs under full-scale stress ╰┈✦ GDP slowdown: Growth in 2026 is expected to be around 2%, signaling typical “low growth + high inflation” stagflation risks Direct impact on Crypto ➫ Rate cut dreams shattered: OECD has basically ruled out the possibility of rate cuts before the end of 2026 ➫ Increased volatility: Liquidity tightening in the short term, BTC continues to drop and search for a bottom ➫ Narrative shift: Rate cut bull run becomes a dream, setting the stage for a battle between “safe-haven narrative” and “supply shock” scenarios
