Huge amount of money waiting to be deployed in the crypto market
According to billionaire venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya, the market is poised for a strong rally as a flood of capital searches for new opportunities.
In a recent episode of the All-In Podcast, he stated that the macroeconomic outlook for the United States is starting to look positive.
Palihapitiya first examined the consumer price index (CPI), which tracks the nation’s inflation rate over time.
He believes that the CPI is beginning to decline, indicating that high inflation rates are a thing of the past.
“We are really in a decent place with inflation. If you think about what’s going to happen in the next six months, it’s mostly in the bag… There’s a lag effect on a handful of [CPI] components, specifically rents, which when you roll them into this inflation rate, you’re going to see it really, really turn over very quickly.
So we know that inflation is falling. It’s going to fall even more.”
Palihapitiya discusses the possibility of a large amount of capital moving from money market funds into the stock market to chase higher returns.
He notes that there is already a significant amount of money in money market funds, currently standing at $6 trillion and growing.
This is a positive sign as this money will eventually need to be invested somewhere.
Palihapitiya suggests that the introduction of rate cuts will further accelerate this process of deploying trillions of dollars into the equity markets, which is likely to lead to a positive performance of the stock markets in particular.
Overall, the current setup seems to indicate that the markets are poised to perform well.
Palihapitiya also made sure to state the fact that he’s optimistic about the prospects of the US economy with the Federal Reserve poised to cut rates by mid-2024, as reported by the online publication the Daily Hodl.
