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?

I think Jpow will cut if he sees the job market needs more attention than inflation, but I'm not sure if there is anything else that might sway him.
