#EthereumSecurityInitiative 📉 Powell: The Era of Low Interest Rates is Over — The Fed is Preparing for Inflation Shocks

🗣 Fed Chair Jerome Powell stated that inflation in the U.S. will be more volatile in the coming years, and the economy will be subject to new supply shocks. Long-term rates are already significantly higher than in the 'quiet' 2010s — and this, according to him, reflects a paradigm shift.

📌 Key Signals:

– 📊 The current Fed strategy is outdated — it was developed in 2019 when inflation was too low.

– 🛠 The new policy will be flexible — able to adapt to a 'wide range of conditions and events'.

– 🔁 The Fed acknowledges the end of the era of cheap money and is preparing tools for the 'new normal' — high rates and instability.

⚠️ For the markets, this is a worrying sign: a quick resolution with high rates is unlikely. Pressure on the stock market, altcoins, and speculative assets will persist — especially against the backdrop of a strong dollar and rising yields.
