US Govt doesn't care about stock market. For them, they want to protect sanctity of bond markets. There are bonds worth 7.6T$ expiring this year that needs to be renewed. With interest rates so high, the premiums that need to be paid to the investors would be so huge, I do not know how a govt that's already crippled will manage it. Plus there is deadline looming for DEBT CEILING. 2025 is going to be a hollywood year in finance industry. What would be done, there will be movies made on it. Let's see who the heroes or villains would be.
