Odaily Planet Daily reports that Federal Reserve Bank of Canada official Hamak stated that the positive inflation data for November may be due to data collection distortions caused by the government shutdown in October and the first half of November, which underestimated 12-month price growth. Although the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a 2.7% year-on-year increase in the November CPI, the estimate, adjusted for measurement difficulties, brought it closer to the 2.9% or 3.0% level commonly expected by forecasters. Furthermore, Hamak's core concern regarding interest rate cuts lies in her view that the neutral interest rate is higher than generally believed, and that the economy itself has the momentum to maintain robust growth next year. The neutral interest rate cannot be directly observed, but it can be inferred from the state of the economy. (Jinshi)

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Federal Reserve Bank of New York's Fed Chair Hammark stated that after three consecutive rate cuts at its past meetings, there is no need to adjust interest rates in the coming months. Hammark opposed the recent rate cuts, citing concerns about persistently high inflation rather than potential labor market fragility. Hammark is not a voting member of the interest rate-setting committee this year but will become one next year. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal's Take On the Week podcast on Thursday, she said, "My base case is that we can keep interest rates at their current levels for some time, at least until the spring, until we get clearer evidence that either inflation is falling back to the target level or there is more substantial weakness in the labor market."

Huoxun Finance News, December 21st - Sean Farrell, Head of Cryptocurrency Strategy at Fundstrat, TomLee's fund, responded to questions about a potential divergence in market views between him and TomLee, stating, "Fundstrat employs multiple analysts, each with independent research frameworks and different investment timeframes, designed to meet the diverse investment objectives of our clients. My research primarily targets portfolios with a high proportion of crypto assets and employs a relatively more aggressive market strategy. TomLee's research mainly serves large fund management institutions and investors who allocate 1%–5% of their assets to BTC and ETH. This type of strategy..." To achieve excess returns over time, a high degree of self-discipline and a long-term perspective are needed to grasp structural (long-term) trends. My goal is to help clients and subscribers with a high allocation to crypto assets (approximately 20% or more) to consistently outperform the market across different cycles through proactive rebalancing. My cautious view in the first half of the year reflects risk management, not outright bearishness. Current market pricing is almost perfect, but risks remain, including government shutdowns, trade volatility, uncertainty surrounding AI capital expenditures, and changes in the Federal Reserve Chairman. Meanwhile, high-yield bond spreads are tightening, and cross-asset volatility is low. Recent fund flows have also shown divergence. Bitcoin is currently in uncharted territory in terms of valuation. In the long term, ETF demand should improve with the entry of large brokerages, but in the near term, it still faces pressure from early holders selling, miner pressure, the possibility of MSCI removing MSTR, and fund redemptions. My baseline assessment: There may be a rebound at the beginning of the year, followed by another correction in the first half of the year, providing a more attractive opportunity for year-end positioning. If my assessment is incorrect, I prefer to wait for confirmation signals. For investors following this outlook, I still expect Bitcoin and Ethereum to challenge new all-time highs by the end of the year, thus ending the traditional four-year cycle with a shorter and smaller bear market.
