According to the New York Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank, consumer inflation expectations remain tepid looking forward, with a slight decline in the near-term inflation outlook. However, the NY Fed noted that consumers remain skeptical about their immediate hiring prospects, and household confidence in their financial situations has deteriorated further.

  • One-year inflation expectations dip to 3.1% from 3.4%.
  • Credit availability expectations declined in January.
  • Labor market outlook improved slightly, but remains in worrisome territory.
  • Home price expectations ticked down to 2.9% from 3.0%.
  • Households remain less hopeful on current and future financial situations.

Inflation FAQs

Inflation measures the rise in the price of a representative basket of goods and services. Headline inflation is usually expressed as a percentage change on a month-on-month (MoM) and year-on-year (YoY) basis. Core inflation excludes more volatile elements such as food and fuel which can fluctuate because of geopolitical and seasonal factors. Core inflation is the figure economists focus on and is the level targeted by central banks, which are mandated to keep inflation at a manageable level, usually around 2%.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in prices of a basket of goods and services over a period of time. It is usually expressed as a percentage change on a month-on-month (MoM) and year-on-year (YoY) basis. Core CPI is the figure targeted by central banks as it excludes volatile food and fuel inputs. When Core CPI rises above 2% it usually results in higher interest rates and vice versa when it falls below 2%. Since higher interest rates are positive for a currency, higher inflation usually results in a stronger currency. The opposite is true when inflation falls.

Although it may seem counter-intuitive, high inflation in a country pushes up the value of its currency and vice versa for lower inflation. This is because the central bank will normally raise interest rates to combat the higher inflation, which attract more global capital inflows from investors looking for a lucrative place to park their money.

Formerly, Gold was the asset investors turned to in times of high inflation because it preserved its value, and whilst investors will often still buy Gold for its safe-haven properties in times of extreme market turmoil, this is not the case most of the time. This is because when inflation is high, central banks will put up interest rates to combat it.
Higher interest rates are negative for Gold because they increase the opportunity-cost of holding Gold vis-a-vis an interest-bearing asset or placing the money in a cash deposit account. On the flipside, lower inflation tends to be positive for Gold as it brings interest rates down, making the bright metal a more viable investment alternative.

Here’s What $100 in Dogecoin (DOGE) Will Be Worth by the End of 2025 Compared to Solana (SOL) and Little Pepe (LILPEPE)

The post Here’s What $100 in Dogecoin (DOGE) Will Be Worth by the End of 2025 Compared to Solana (SOL) and Little Pepe (LILPEPE) appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SPONSORED POST* If you invested $100 today, projections suggest that by the end of 2025, Dogecoin (DOGE) could grow to $700, Solana (SOL) to $500, but Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is showing an entirely different trajectory, potentially reaching $10,000. Little Pepe (LILPEPE) recently sold out its 12th stage of presale and entered stage 13, now priced at $0.0022.  Investors at this stage are already looking at a guaranteed 30% ROI at launch, but projections based on current momentum and buyer activity suggest potential returns well beyond that, possibly 10x or more if demand continues. The project has raised over $26 million and sold 16 billion tokens faster than expected, highlighting both the speed of adoption and the potential for outsized gains compared to other major coins. Comparing $100 Investments: Dogecoin, Solana, and Little Pepe’s Potential Returns Dogecoin (DOGE) is trading at approximately $0.2845, reflecting a 7.3% increase from the previous close. Despite recent gains, DOGE remains down over 60% from its 2021 high of $0.73. Analysts predict that as DOGE rises by the end of 2025, a $100 investment could grow to $700. Solana (SOL) is currently priced at $250.72, up 7.3% from the previous close. With a total value locked (TVL) of $12 billion and speculation around ETF approval and a potential Nasdaq listing, SOL is projected to turn the same $100 investment into $500 by year-end. In contrast, Little Pepe (LILPEPE), still in its presale phase, has raised over $25.47 million and sold over 15.75 billion tokens, surpassing expectations. Priced at $0.0022 in Stage 13, LILPEPE offers a guaranteed 30% ROI from its listing price of $0.003. Given its rapid growth and strong community engagement, analysts predict a potential 100x return by 2027, making a $100 investment worth $10,000. While DOGE and SOL offer established investment opportunities with moderate…
