This economic uncertainty, however, is viewed by some, including BlackRock's head of digital assets, as a potential catalyst for bitcoin price increases due to historical responses to recessions involving increased government spending and monetary stimulus.

How do rising longer-term interest rates and the prediction market's recession probability affect the FOMC's decision-making process?

The anticipation of slower economic growth (below 1 percent real GDP growth) and higher inflation (3.5-4 percent) in 2025, partly due to tariffs and immigration policies, is driving the FOMC's rate cut projections. The unemployment rate is expected to rise from 4.2 percent to 4.5-5 percent. Prediction markets, such as Polymarket, assign a 50 percent probability to a 2025 recession.

How did prior economic measures contribute to the current crisis, and what factors beyond government actions influenced the situation?

The crisis stems from dwindling oil revenues due to renewed sanctions and the government's unsustainable efforts to artificially maintain the bolivar's value. While the use of the US dollar and prior economic measures provided temporary stability, these actions ultimately proved unsustainable and led to the current economic freefall. The concentration of economic growth in Caracas, while ignoring other regions, exacerbated the issue.

What are the potential long-term implications of the tariff policies on inflation, employment, and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy strategy?

The long-term effects of the tariffs remain highly uncertain. If tariffs remain high, the U.S. could experience a prolonged economic slowdown with increased unemployment. Conversely, if negotiations limit tariffs, the economy may experience a moderate slowdown, but inflation could still fall toward the Fed's 2% target. These diverging outcomes highlight the significant challenges facing the Federal Reserve in navigating this policy uncertainty.
