Investor Anthony Scaramucci said he expects the Federal Reserve will pause its campaign to raise interest rates before inflation reaches its 2% goal, leading to a rally in risk assets.

“I do believe that the Fed declares victory at 4% to 5% inflation,” Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, said in an interview. “If I’m right, there will be a resurgence in the market. There’ll be a lot of short covering in crypto and there’ll be a rebirth of risk assets.”
