It's called a FED bailout...

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

Inflation is predicted to rise to 4% this year and >4% next year

Without accounting for retaliatory tariffs or potential rate cuts.

Why would Jpow go and make that worse by lowering rates? Just to save the stock market?

What is more important for the Fed, inflation or stock prices?

What is more important for the Fed, inflation or stock prices?

Is this even a serious question?

Stock price is more important to the fed lol. That’s why the best advice you can give anyone is to invest in the stock market. Rich people will let any other negative thing happen long before they would let the market tank.
