It’s a hedge against the slowing economy.

The Fed sees Trump’s idiotic trade war and tariffs as a brake on economic activity. Therefore, the Fed will use cuts in interest rates to stimulate the economy to maintain the current rate of activity, where inflation is relatively low and growth remains stable.

It’s a tacit admission that Trump’s trade policy is highly damaging to our economy.

Sure, but the question was why investors viewed a slowing economy as a good sign and a reason to buy stocks.
