💣 Powell's flip-flop, rate hikes fierce as a tiger! How can ordinary people survive? If you don't save yourself now, just wait to be harvested!
The Federal Reserve Chairman's statement of "staying flexible" sent global markets into a frenzy! The former "dove" suddenly transformed into a "rate hike maniac," with internal documents revealing: more rate hikes planned for 2025! Stronger! Longer!
🚨 Three dangerous signals are approaching:
1️⃣ Decision-making based on "gut feeling": Checking if the port is congested in the middle of the night, scrolling TikTok to gauge consumer sentiment, the Fed is now too lazy to even look at models, relying entirely on instinct!
2️⃣ Inflation is an illusion: CPI seems to have dropped? Don't be fooled! The real "inflation bomb" is still brewing, with core prices expected to take off again to 4.5% in Q2.
3️⃣ Rate hikes won't stop: Even if the economy stalls, interest rates have no intention of turning back! The "rate hike perpetual motion machine" is already online!
💥 Assets are plummeting across the board, and a triple blow is on the way:
The stock market's high valuations are crashing, tech stocks fell back to pre-liberation levels in one day;
Bond market interest rates are soaring, mortgage rates nearing 8%;
Exchange rates are wildly fluctuating, emerging market currencies are diving daily!
📉 Even cash is not safe!
Interest rates for depositors are below inflation, equating to "silent depreciation," and with a massive issuance of government bonds, cash is being "stolen" by inflation!
🤯 What's the most brutal thing? Policies change overnight! Yesterday they said no hikes, today they hint at possibly a 75 basis point hike, investors are going almost insane!
🔥 The only way to survive is three words: rebuild the situation!
🧱 Asset pyramid: Defense + Offense + Game Theory
Base: Gold, short-term government bonds;
Middle layer: Energy, agricultural products, inflation-resistant assets;
Top layer: Small bets on cryptocurrencies + volatility indices, remember to strictly set stop-losses!
💡 Three steps for cash flow:
Pay off debt, start a side business, save emergency funds (multi-currency + offshore to spread risk)!
Maintain 36 months of survival ammunition, don't wait for the storm to come before regretting you weren't prepared!
🔍 Information power is the talisman to navigate through cycles:
Keep a close eye on interest rate futures, supply chain bottlenecks, and the price tags at your local supermarket, sometimes these are more accurate than official data!
⛵ In conclusion:
Every major chaos is an opportunity for wealth redistribution! Some become rich amidst the chaos, while others are silently harvested. Are you waiting to be cut, or will you build your own Noah's Ark now?
The times are about to change, are you ready?
