I guess the stock market is betting that the Fed is more concerned about the drop in employment than the rise in inflation and will cut rates accordingly at their meeting this month. The EU central bank held the line.
I'm guessing the market will go down on the day their announcement is made - regardless of a cut or not (but further if they don't cut). (Buy on the rumor, sell on the news).
