It's called a FED bailout...

It theoretically should ease the free fall to prevent an all-out crash.

adp non-farm report just came out. Much higher non-farm employment than predicted. We are screwed in term of rate cut. High unemployment and high core inflation gave jpowell easy excuse for pause rate and wait and see.

it's going to take a miracle to see rate cut now.

More tariffs = lower rates. It’s one hack economists don’t want you to know

Simple math, lower interest rates dont mean jack if you have to pay 20% more for the product up front.

It's literally how rates work. The federal reserve has a DUAL mandate to keep inflation low and the economy growing. If inflation is up, they raise rates. If growth is down, they lower them. If both are up, they can't do jack shit.
