With the Bank of Canada announcing an oversized interest rate hike this week, it might seem like central banks are coming to rescue us from inflation once again. Yet while they did play an important role in mitigating a COVID-induced recession, central banks don’t have the power to solve our inflation problem.
The famous author of the best-selling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, has warned that the U.S. dollar is “about to implode.” Among the investments he suggested are cryptocurrencies bitcoin, ethereum, and solana.
The 16th chair of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell said that America’s “inflation is much too high” on Monday, and he further explained that the U.S. central bank is willing to raise rates more aggressively. Off the heels of the first benchmark interest rate increase since 2018, Powell stressed that the Fed will “take the necessary steps” to ensure price stability is feasible. The Fed chair further said raising the federal funds rate by “more than 25 basis points” may be appropriate.
