These new forecasts have triggered a sell-off in US stocks, as investors have already priced in the expectation of policy tightening. Details on prices show a broad-based easing of inflation.

Personalities & Voices
Regarding the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Plan proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis, Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Asset Research at VanEck, commented on the X platform, "We did some mathematical calculations on this topic in our ChainCheck this month. Assuming the US Treasury starts buying 1 million Bitcoins at an initial price of $20,000 over 5 years. Assuming US debt grows at a 5% rate (compared to an 8% compound annual growth rate over the past 10 years) and Bitcoin price grows at a 25% compound rate. In this case, by 2050, the US strategic Bitcoin reserve will hold assets equivalent to 36% of the debt."
