According to PANews, Rob Hadick, a general partner at Dragonfly, shared his insights on current macroeconomic and market trends via social media. He suggested that the Trump administration might intentionally push the economy towards a recession to justify cuts in welfare, foreign aid, government spending, and imports, despite these being key drivers of economic growth. He also predicted that the government would later stimulate the economy through significant tax cuts, quantitative easing (QE), golden visas, and manufacturing subsidies.
Hadick highlighted inflation as a critical issue, noting the divided market expectations regarding Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. If economic growth deteriorates, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell might be compelled to lower rates, or else unconventional monetary easing could occur, potentially increasing inflation and the prices of risk assets. He also mentioned that deteriorating relations between the U.S. and its allies, along with policies supporting certain regimes, could heighten the risk of 'black swan events.' While AI investments are expected to support the market, a weak performance by companies like NVIDIA could exert additional pressure.
Regarding the cryptocurrency market, Hadick believes that despite strengthening fundamentals, macroeconomic uncertainties will suppress token price performance. However, once the macro environment improves, the crypto market could be among the first to rebound. He is optimistic about the rapid growth of stablecoins and recommends adopting a long-term volatility trading strategy amid current uncertainties.
