Fed and the Markets: Rate Cuts vs. Policy Credibility

Some see it as a rational response to slowing growth and looming recession, while others view it as the Fed’s loss of independence, caving to markets and politicians. Critics warn it may reignite inflation and undermine the dollar. Conspiracy-minded voices go further, claiming it’s a calculated manipulation of rate cycles designed to protect elites profiting from recurring crises. Is the Fed truly acting in society’s interest, or serving global power players instead?
