Bill Ackman Just Said 4 Words Blasting the Fed's Latest Rate Hike: "Just Made a Mistake." Here's Why He Thinks Higher Rates Could Backfire on AI-Driven Inflation.

Bill Ackman criticizes the Federal Reserve's September 2024 rate hike, arguing that higher interest rates may backfire in the AI era.

This could cause higher interest rates to be reflected only in AI product prices, potentially increasing rather than decreasing inflation.
