Top Forecaster Warns: Fed Could Raise Rates by 50 Basis Points in December, with Policy Path for Early Next Year in Flux
Economist Jason Schenker, who was among the first to predict the Fed’s most recent rate hike, is now raising another possibility: if inflationary pressures persist, the Fed could raise rates by 50 basis points in December rather than the usual 25.
Jason Schenker, president of Prestige Economics, expects the Fed is unlikely to raise interest rates again at its meeting this month. He believes policymakers need to first observe the effects of the September rate hike before deciding whether to take more aggressive action at year-end.
“In December, if inflation has not been curbed more forcefully and substantially following the September rate hike, the Fed may choose to raise rates by 50 basis points instead of 25 to put greater pressure on inflation,” Schenker said.
$SNDKB Demand for memory chips is expected to continue through 2035, with the industry shortage lasting until 2029–2030!!! According to Serenity, the long-term visibility of demand for memory chips has reached unprecedented levels. Major cloud service providers such as Google are seeking long-term supply agreements that could extend through 2035. However, the market remains concerned about the sustainability of investment in AI infrastructure and the risks associated with financing it. Dell CEO Michael Dell expects the memory chip shortage to last for around four years, and the construction of new wafer fabs is taking longer than expected. The new capacity is expected to come online between 2029 and 2030, while Dell expects the supply-demand imbalance to worsen in 2027.

The best product launch I’ve ever witnessed was the iPhone, unveiled by Steve Jobs in January 2007. Almost 19 years later, Tesla has finally challenged that record.
Flying cars are no longer just science fiction. The Tesla Roadster demo was absolutely insane.
Steve Jobs changed the world with the iPhone. Elon Musk is taking the world to the next level, and I believe his dream of going to Mars will soon come true.
🧧🎁🌹🧧🎁🌹 Hot sectors and specific areas to watch that will remain relevant in 2026
RWA tokenization: Attracted significant capital in Q3 (including projects like Ondo Finance). Tokenized U.S. Treasuries, private credit, gold/commodities, and more are already live, with the market reaching tens of billions of dollars. Opportunities lie in issuance platforms, compliance tools, and secondary trading.
AI × Crypto: Verifiable AI, privacy-preserving AI inference, AI agent infrastructure, and decentralized computing/data. Multiple projects have raised tens of millions to over $100 million.
Prediction markets: Polymarket and Kalshi have reached valuations in the tens of billions, with institutional capital pouring in. Trading terminals and aggregators are the next wave of opportunities.
DeFi and trading infrastructure: Perpetual DEXs (Hyperliquid has performed particularly well, with large buyback volumes), stablecoin payments, and institutional-grade lending. Capital favors companies with revenue and licenses over pure protocols.
Other tokens to watch (India/global perspective, October picks): Chainlink (LINK, oracles + cross-chain + institutional adoption), Helium (HNT, wireless DePIN), Toncoin (TON, Telegram ecosystem), ICP (decentralized cloud + AI), FIL (decentralized storage), and others.
Airdrop/early participation opportunities (October-related): Some projects have deadlines or points phases (such as the Ammora testnet, MINT, TxFlow, Fables, and others). Be mindful of the risks, prioritize official channels, and avoid exposing your private keys. Follow me and reply “Answer 1” to claim a $SOL red packet.

【20U🧧🧧 up for grabs】 I saw someone on the Square say: “ByteDance exploits the only asset poor people have left—their time.” I totally agree. So: why doesn’t ByteDance pay us when we watch ads on its platform? Which came first, the ads or the users? If the users came first, doesn’t making them watch ads basically mean making them work for ByteDance? ————————————————————— 【Repost + comment “time asset” to claim 🧧🧧🧧】
