Wall Street can't contain its excitement for interest rate cuts anticipated from the Federal Reserve in June this year. Inflation could be stickier than previously thought, according to February's Consumer Price Index (CPI) reading, and may not create as ideal a scenario for the Fed to initiate mid-year rate cuts. Thornburg Investment Management Head of Investments Jeff Klingelhofer joins Yahoo Finance Live to explain where elevated interest rates have loosened inflation's grip and when to expect rate cuts. "I'm a tennis player, I think what the Fed is trying to do is avoid the unforced error, the footfall... Most inflation metrics that you focus on, we're lapping the easy side of inflation," Klingelhofer says. "To your point, we're coming back into much tougher sides, right? So energy inflation is actually going up. The average consumer is feeling that pain. I think that's exactly why, while I don't expect the [Fed's] Dot Plot to move next week, in coming months I do expect it to because inflation will remain firm."

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) prices have hit new highs in 2024 thanks, in part, to the launch of spot bitcoin ETFs. It's not a surprise to MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, a longtime bitcoin bull, who calls the cryptocurrency "the best investment asset." MicroStrategy (MSTR) recently increased its bitcoin holdings by 12,000, which Saylor says the company will continue doing. When asked if MicroStrategy will use some of its bitcoin holdings to return money to shareholders or make an acquisition, Saylor was clear, "we believe that the highest, best use of capital is to buy bitcoin and hold the bitcoin" adding that "bitcoin is the winner" compared to other assets. Overall, Saylor says the use case of bitcoin is "capital preservation." Saylor compares investing in bitcoin to buying a home in a city everyone wants to move to, saying bitcoin "is the apex property of the human race." Watch the video above to hear what Saylor tells Yahoo Finance's Julie Hyman about investing in MicroStrategy versus investing in a spot bitcoin ETF.

Sweden's Central Bank Governor warns against Bitcoin integration, citing its speculative nature. Here's what you need to know.

Investors are closely watching for signs of an impending Federal Reserve rate cut following February's hotter-than-expected CPI print. SoFi's Head of Investment Strategy Liz Young joins Yahoo Finance Live to dissect market reactions. Young notes that markets are not responding to the CPI data itself but rather to Fed Chair Jerome Powell's recent dovish comments, which suggested a willingness to cut rates later this year. However, Young emphasizes that the Fed is wary of allowing inflation to become "entrenched," a quality that is measured according to inflation expectations. She highlights that the rise in breakeven rates, a measure of inflation expectations, signals a risk that the Fed "has more stamina and a higher threshold for pain than stocks," which could impact investors if the central bank opts against rate cuts. Young describes the Fed's communication on rate cut expectations as "intensely vague," with Powell continuously stating the Fed's need to "feel confident" about reaching the 2% inflation target before initiating cuts. "That last five pounds that you're trying to lose is always the peskiest, and that's where we're stuck. And the thing that's keeping it stuck there is services inflation," Young tells Yahoo. She adds that the Fed will have to acknowledge the less-than-promising inflation data, which presently indicates a "plateau."
