Go Figure? FED Action Trips Us Up Again

The market has rallied on good earnings reports and the likelihood that the FED would stop raising rates. Well, the FED halts a series of 2 years of ever increasing rate hikes and the market sells off on the news! Now, Wall Street will tell us that because the FED has paused on the rate hikes, this is not good since the economy may be slowing! That is...rising inflation in a slowing economy.....stagflation they will call it! What next??
