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

It’s going to be a choice of getting punched in the face (high unemployment) or punched in the head (high inflation). Will probably get both.
