Is the Federal Reserve's inflation target facing a turning point? Wall Street giants predict a new 3% forecast



A viewpoint that could change market expectations is gaining traction. Pensions Plaza CEO Bill Ackman recently stated that the Fed's long-held 2% inflation target may be subject to adjustment.

What's going on? Ackman pointed out that structural factors such as energy transition and supply chain reshaping have become the norm, making a return to an era of zero inflation pressure essentially unrealistic. Based on this judgment, he predicts that the Fed might raise its inflation target range to 2.5%-3%.

What does this mean for the crypto market? Once policy expectations shift, the Fed's interest rate trajectory and liquidity release pace will adjust accordingly—directly impacting valuation logic for assets like $ETH, $SOL, $WAL, and others.

In the short term, the market is still digesting these voices. But in the long run, if the inflation target is truly raised, the duration of the low-interest-rate environment could be longer, which is clearly a positive for risk assets.

Ackman is at it again? The crypto world is about to boil over Wait, 3% inflation... can this really be implemented? Feels like it might reverse again soon A prolonged low-interest-rate environment = ETH continues to rise? Never mind, let's wait and see, don't trust these so-called prophets

Ackman wants to stir up trouble again; the 2% change should have been made long ago. The supply chain hole simply can't be filled.

Is Akman's statement reliable? It feels like he's just defending the high inflation environment. Anyway, with the interest rate cut cycle coming, the coin price should go up, right?

Ackman's statement sounds good, but can 2% really be raised to 3%? It just feels like Wall Street is finding reasons to push the market up again; in the end, retail investors are the ones who suffer.

Ackman is teasing again, this time suggesting to raise the inflation target to 3%? Uh... okay, low interest rates are good news for our crypto circle anyway. Who cares if it's 2% or 3%, as long as liquidity is sufficient.
