Hawk

A hawk is a bird of prey known for its sharp eyesight, powerful talons, and hooked beak, which it uses to hunt small animals like rodents and insects. In finance and economics, the term “hawk” describes a person who favors higher interest rates to control inflation and prevent economic overheating. Both meanings reflect a keen, aggressive approach—either in hunting or in economic policy—focused on maintaining stability and security. The term’s versatility highlights the hawk’s image as a vigilant and assertive figure, whether in nature or policy discussions.
