Will inflation drop to zero in 2026? Renowned investors interpret the "golden moment" of the US economy.

The well-known investment firm ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood recently shared her views on the U.S. economy in 2026. She believes that next year may usher in the “golden moment” for the economy—this expression sounds quite interesting.

Sister Wood's logic is as follows: After being bombarded by tariff shocks, government shutdown risks, and the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, if oil prices and rents continue to decline, the U.S. inflation rate could potentially fall to zero or even turn negative. What does this mean? From the perspective of the crypto market, a decline in inflation expectations often affects the Federal Reserve's policy space, which in turn triggers a chain reaction on the allocation of risk assets.

Of course, there are quite a few prerequisites for this prediction – oil prices need to maintain a downward trend, and rental costs must continue to decline. But if these do materialize, then 2026 could indeed be a turning point.
