We'll see what actually happens. I mean... they printed money when COVID hit to keep the US spending.

If this sell off starts triggering massive buying of off shore stocks due to unease in US stocks... they gotta do something to keep investors in US stocks.

Ya, but inflation was at 2% then.

Inflation is predicted to rise this year, 4%, next year by >4%

Rate cuts now would just make that way worse…

Who is predicting that? There is literally no data.

Yeah, sure, argue back "everyone knows X or Y" the truth is that uncertainty and fear is driving everything right now, not certainty and bad data.
