The Fed is losing the inflation battle,\" wrote Ackman in a series of tweets on Saturday.Ackman said the U.S. central bank has lost some credibility on Wall Street, which may be hurting its ability to affect inflation expectations, which is seen by some as a significant drag on sentiment.\"The unresolved elephant in the room is the loss of the Fed's perceived credibility as an inflation fighter and whether 3 to 4 would therefore be enough,\" he wrote.Markets are widely expecting the Federal Reserve to deliver a hike of 25 basis points at its March meeting. According to data compiled by the CME Group Inc., the odds point to a 79% chance of such a hike, with just a 3% chance of an increase of 50 basis points to the federal funds rates, which currently stand at a range between 0% and 0.25%.CME GROUPThe Fed has penciled in a plan to raise its benchmark interest rate to 2.1% by the end of 2023. Former New York Fed President William Dudley and others think the central bank will likely have to push its benchmark rate up closer to 4% to reverse easy monetary policy largely kept in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Fed Chairman Jerome Powell told the Senate Banking Committee earlier in January that a surge in inflation, rising to highs not seen in about 40 years, came from the imbalance of supply and demand. While the Fed can cool demand, it will get some help as supply constraints ease, he said.Some market economists and strategists, however, have made the case that Fed policy makers have made an error in not tackling inflation sooner and referring to it as transitory, with Deutsche Bank researchers describing the U.S. central bank as \"way behind the curve\" since early last year in tightening policy, which is now forcing it to move faster and sooner than had been expected.Deutsche Bank's (DBK.XE) economists expect four hikes in 2022, as do those at Goldman Sachs Group Inc.. JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO Jamie Dimon has speculated that the Fed may need to hike rates as many as seven times, which would be a much faster pace of rate increases than market participants are pricing in.Ackman said the Fed can do a great deal toward restoring any street cred that it might have lost by surprising the market with a much bigger hike than is expected, which might obviate the need for a long series of increases or more aggressive action.\"A 50 bp initial move would have the reflexive effect of reducing inflation expectations, which would moderate the need for more aggressive and economically painful steps in the future. Just a thought,\" the hedge-fund manager tweeted.Markets have been unsettled by the prospect of tightening financial conditions, with major stock indexes weighed down on Friday partly by the prospect of higher interest rates while the 2-year Treasury note yield, which reflects the near-term policy path of the Fed, climbed to the highest level in almost two years at 0.965%, while the The 10-year Treasury note rate TMUBMUSD10Y, 1.792% rose 6.3 basis points to 1.771% to end the week.All three major stock benchmarks ended lower last week and are down sharply so far in early 2022, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 1.2%, the S&P 500 index off 2.2% and the Nasdaq Composite Index  down 4.8%, so far in January.Ackman runs Pershing Square Capital Management and is a prominent and outspoken investor, whose net worth is about $3.3 billion, according to Forbes.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":9005723961,"gmtCreate":1642419217688,"gmtModify":1676533709189,"author":{"id":"3581627855404547","authorId":"3581627855404547","name":"Jdheng1","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b35fda9ba795c0afd124edd5f6a698b","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3581627855404547","authorIdStr":"3581627855404547"},"htmlText":"Yes","listText":"Yes","text":"Yes","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9005723961","repostId":2204724213,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9005780828,"gmtCreate":1642409761277,"gmtModify":1676533708615,"author":{"id":"3555014251535651","authorId":"3555014251535651","name":"Dollarvan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0316ab12b442ee2cd79936de06de5089","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3555014251535651","authorIdStr":"3555014251535651"},"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9005780828","repostId":2204724213,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9005715795,"gmtCreate":1642408590202,"gmtModify":1676533708574,"author":{"id":"4102768104693410","authorId":"4102768104693410","name":"Yvonnelim","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4102768104693410","authorIdStr":"4102768104693410"},"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9005715795","repostId":2204724213,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":9005715951,"gmtCreate":1642408136299,"gmtModify":1676533708543,"author":{"id":"4087361572396550","authorId":"4087361572396550","name":"ValuInvestor","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/5a962911d3cd0763a9f0cb01392cacd9","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"4087361572396550","authorIdStr":"4087361572396550"},"htmlText":"That will shock the market alright - might see huge downdays for a week or more if that happens","listText":"That will shock the market alright - might see huge downdays for a week or more if that happens","text":"That will shock the market alright - might see huge downdays for a week or more if that happens","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/9005715951","repostId":2204724213,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":47,"commentSize":4,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.1","shortVersion":"4.29.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2204724213"}
