It is not the job of the federal reserve to protect the price of stocks, they care about the actual financials of the businesses not what people are willing to pay for a slice of ownership...well, at least until it starts to impact the wider economy.

Which is why a very confusing job report today, assuming doctored up to give the illusion that “all is well”, is actually a double edged sword. Except, in the end, the sword doesn’t cut anything at all.

Yeah it's going to be very difficult to get real data from any federal agency any more. You have to assume it's all fabricated like with China.

The impact of "liberation day" tariffs won't be fully reflected in the jobs report for multiple months.

Exactly. And the tariff outcomes could be stagflation, or worse, deflation.
