Federal Reserve Member Austan Goolsbee: “Interest Rate Cuts Could Be Postponed Until 2027”


Federal Reserve official Austan Goolsbee, highlighting the impact of global geopolitical risks on monetary policy, said the Fed may begin interest rate cuts later than expected.

He warned that interest rate cuts could be postponed until 2027, especially if a war with Iran were to keep oil prices permanently high.

In a statement on Tuesday, Goolsby said that high energy prices could slow the decline in inflation toward the Fed’s 2 percent target. In this scenario, he indicated, the Fed might have to wait longer before cutting interest rates.

Speaking at the Semaphore World Economic Conference, Goolsby reiterated his earlier prediction of multiple interest rate cuts by 2026. However, he stressed that this expectation could be postponed if current conditions persist and inflation remains high. Goolsby stated, “If we don’t see a drop in inflation and it remains at high levels, the timing of interest rate cuts could extend beyond 2026. Our primary responsibility is to bring inflation back to the 2 percent level.”

Goolsby, who had previously adopted a relatively optimistic stance, particularly believing that inflation caused by tariffs would be temporary, stated that this confidence has weakened in light of recent developments.

On the other hand, Goolsby also stated that not all scenarios are negative. He said that if the oil price shock originating from the Middle East proves temporary and inflation returns to a downward trend, interest rate cuts could be back on the agenda. However, he noted that in some cases, even interest rate increases could be on the table.

Bitcoin developers are trying to build quantum defenses. Your coins could pay the price.
Bitcoin was built on a promise that no one can touch your coins without your private key. No government, no bank, nobody.

That promise is now, for the first time in Bitcoin's 16-year history, being challenged from the developer community itself, as a part of measures to build defenses against future quantum computers that could compromise Bitcoin's blockchain and steal your coins.

The proposal

Jameson Loop, one of the outspoken bitcoin contributors, and other cryptographers, have ﻿proposed a move that could force bitcoin holders to migrate their coins to new quantum-resistant addresses or face having their coins frozen permanently by the network itself. In that scenario, holders would technically still “own” the coins, but lose the ability to move them.

It is called Bitcoin Improvement Proposal (BIP)-361 and was updated in Bitcoin's official proposal repository Tuesday with the title "Post Quantum Migration and Legacy Signature Sunset."

This comes as a recently released Google report warned that a sufficiently powerful quantum machine could require significantly less firepower to compromise the Bitcoin blockchain than initially estimated. This prompted some observers to cite 2029 as the quantum deadline for bitcoin.

To understand the need to freeze coins, you need to know what it is protecting against.

Every Bitcoin wallet is secured by a form of cryptography called ECDSA, or Elliptic Curve Digital Signature algorithm. Think of it as a lock on your wallet. When you set up a wallet, two keys are generated: Private key, which is a unique password used to prove that you own the coins you are spending. Then there is a public key derived from the private key. This public key helps receive funds, verify transaction signatures, and ensure security without revealing the owner's private key.

Here is the problem: your public key is revealed on the blockchain, p

A explosive new report from the Financial Times has uncovered that Iran covertly leveraged a Chinese spy satellite during a recent regional conflict, granting the Islamic Republic an unprecedented ability to surveil and potentially strike American military installations across the Middle East. This development marks a significant shift in Iran's intelligence and military targeting capabilities, raising serious concerns among U.S. defense officials and regional security analysts.According to the report, the satellite gave Iranian forces access to high-resolution imagery and real-time reconnaissance data tools that were previously beyond Tehran's independent reach. By tapping into Chinese space-based surveillance infrastructure, Iran was reportedly able to monitor the movements and positions of U.S. troops and assets stationed throughout the region with far greater precision than ever before. This revelation highlights the deepening strategic partnership between China and Iran, two nations that have increasingly aligned their geopolitical interests against Western influence in the Middle East. Defense experts warn that this kind of technological cooperation could fundamentally alter the regional security balance, giving adversarial states access to advanced capabilities typically reserved for global superpowers. The reported use of Chinese satellite intelligence by Iran comes amid already heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, with U.S. forces remaining deployed across multiple Middle Eastern countries. If confirmed, the collaboration suggests that Iran's military modernization efforts are accelerating not through domestic development alone, but through strategic foreign partnerships that bypass Western sanctions and export controls.Security analysts are now callina

The BlackRock Investment Institute has shifted its stance on US equities back to overweight.In its latest weekly commentary, the BlackRock cites resilient corporate earnings and contained economic fallout from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. "We go overweight. Contained damage to global growth from the Mideast conflict and strong earnings expectations particularly in tech - keep us risk-on. "The analysts also point to economic incentives for de-escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict, suggesting that U.S. equities are likely to outperform even if broader market returns prove modest. The institute believes emerging market (EM) stocks and defense-related themes remain attractive opportunities. "We see evidence of economic incentives to end the U.S.-Iran conflict. We turn moderately positive risk and like U.S. stocks as a relative preference, seeing them holding up better even if absolute performance disappoints. We also turn overweight EM stocks and still favor thematic opportunities like defense. "The shift reverses a March move from overweight to neutral on U.S. equities, which was driven by market volatility and concerns that higher interest rates could weigh on stocks, particularly small caps. Over a six to twelve-month horizon, the institute continues to favor Al infrastructure and equipment providers, noting that "electro tech" components such as batteries, power electronics, and electric motors are poised to benefit from rising electricity demand and supply constraints.Generated
