Guys, I read yesterday on BloombergHT that Hammack reiterated his call for an interest rate hike again. 🤔 It feels like he's constantly pressuring independently of the government. Do you think this move will be effective in combating inflation? Or is it just for show? 🧐 I think it wouldn't hurt to discuss this based on the data we have, what do you say?
Hammack strikes again with the 'Interest rates will rise!' move – what do you think?

Even when I’m following market news, I can’t help but be amazed by Hammack’s stance—makes me wonder whether this move is actually lining anyone’s pockets or not. I’m not convinced it will be effective against inflation, honestly; maybe they just want to give the impression that “interest rates are steady” to rein in speculators.
I was thinking exactly the same thing when I started staking Ethereum a while ago. I kept wondering, “Will blockchain yields go up when interest rates rise?” Luckily I was following Hammack’s commentary at the time, otherwise I’d have been fooled by Ethereum’s 3‑4% annual return and kept my money in fiat, honestly. 😅
In the end, seeing the link between Hammack’s pressure and central‑bank rate decisions is pretty interesting. For example, after last month’s FOMC meeting, Bitcoin’s sharp rally showed me just how quickly those “rates will rise” pulse checks can sway market perception. So whether Hammack’s constant signals are just a gimmick to shape market behavior rather than fight inflation, or if there’s a real systematic pressure, looks like a debate that will stay on the agenda.
