Over the past year, the Federal Reserve has used interest rates to combat inflation in the United States – a move that has had a significant impact on the crypto market. However, prominent mutual fund manager Jeffrey Gundlach says a new metric is needed for determining interest rates.

Ignore the Fed
Gundlach, a prominent investor who runs DoubleLine Capital LP, spoke on a webcast earlier this week about the current market situation and how policymakers can address inflation.
According to him, investors would be better served by focusing on the bond market instead of the Federal Reserve for predicting interest rates.
Gleaning on his decades-long experience in the investment space, Gundlach explained that the Federal Reserve ultimately reacts to sentiment from the broader market itself. So, investors looking to get on the fast track would do well to listen to the former instead of the latter.
So far, there has been significant optimism that the market could rebound following possible reductions in the interest rate. According to a few reports, Fed officials have signaled the possibility of raising their policy target above 5% and keeping it there. However, with swaps currently pricing at the peak of less than 5%, the market doesn’t appear to be in line with the Fed’s sentiment.
Gundlach also quickly pointed out that treasury yields have dropped in the wake of recent events. As age gains slow and the services sector contracts, treasury yields across the curve have dropped below the current Fed rate.
Finally, he added that the inverted Treasury yield curves, which have successfully predicted economic slumps in the past. As he explained, the yield curves have always led to recessions in relatively short order – indicating a significant upside in many bond strategies.
Markets Await CPI Data
Gundlach may or may not be right, but it is undeniable that the Federal Reserve still controls the market – especially in the short term. So far, the Fed’s early signals are positive for crypto-assets.
Bitcoin has remained above the $16,700 mark for close to a week now, with the leading cryptocurrency even tapping the $17,500 mark briefly on Tuesday – marking its highest point since December 16.
Gains could also be seen in the gold market, with alternative assets jumping while U.S. stocks continue waiting for the Fed’s indications. Chairman Jerome Powell was a guest at the International Symposium on Central Bank Independence at Sweden’s Central Bank headquarters in Stockholm earlier this week.
However, his speech largely avoided the topic of inflation as he smartly chose not to rattle the markets.
With Powell still not giving any indication, crypto prices have continued to pump.
Nonetheless, Michaël van de Poppe, founder, and CEO of trading firm Eight has cautioned investors to be cautiously optimistic even amid the current rally. In a tweet earlier this week, the trader forecasted a possible reclaim of the $17,500 mark, although he also pointed out that a dip to $16,900 for Bitcoin isn’t out of the question.
For now, the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) data covering December 2022 is expected on January 12.
