Today Dow surged another 400+ points, why?
It's all Fed, Fed indicated today:
1. they will stop raising rate, and pledged any future movement will be "
patient" and "with an eye toward how economic conditions unfold" (a.k.a.
recession/depression)
2. shrinking of the Fed balance sheet is now "adjustable" ( which was used
to be said on "auto-pilot" )
