Fed's Barkin: Has inflation peaked? Consumers and productivity are key

[Bitpush] That official from the Fed, Barkin, has spoken again recently. His assessment is quite interesting - inflation is indeed still hovering above the target line, but he doesn't think it will continue to rise.

The reasons are quite practical: on one hand, consumers have started to vote with their feet; if the prices are too outrageous, they won't buy. On the other hand, companies are improving production efficiency, which can alleviate some of the cost pressures. These two forces combined should be able to gradually suppress inflation.

This is not a bad signal for the crypto market. Inflation expectations have stabilized, and the liquidity environment will not tighten sharply, which can alleviate some pressure on risk assets.
