Will the Federal Reserve's inflation target be adjusted?

Wall Street investor Bill Ackman recently made a bold prediction — the Federal Reserve is very likely to abandon its years-long 2% inflation target. The CEO of Pershing Square believes that relying solely on rate cuts and liquidity adjustments is no longer sufficient.

The reason is straightforward: structural changes like energy transition and supply chain reorganization are bound to bring sustained inflationary pressures. Returning to an era with no inflation at all? That's basically unrealistic. Instead of stubbornly defending the 2% line, it’s better to proactively adjust expectations.

What is his forecast? The Federal Reserve might raise its inflation target range to 2.5%-3%. This shift may seem moderate, but its impact on market signals should not be underestimated — it implies that the Fed may tolerate higher price increases, and its stance on liquidity easing will also change accordingly.

The performance of risk assets like ETH and SOL, in the long run, still cannot escape the influence of macro policy — this invisible hand. Investors need to closely monitor the Federal Reserve’s upcoming actual actions, not just what they say.
