I think they’re being strategic, till they can’t anyways. The market looks bullish long term, right now anyways despite the current down turn so far.
They use inflation to their advantage to balance their rate hikes. Tightening, market goes down a bit then the spending starts, loosening between both market goes up, tightening, market drops a bit, and so on, until something goes on with the banks anyways.
So Inflation stays the market doesn’t tank as of yet. Market over bought although hard to say what energy will do as that’s another demo made problem. If the banks did start to falter they’d use to to try to push their digital currency because it doesn’t matter what happens to this country as long as these tyrants are still in control and the decline, gangs running the streets next and civil unrest doesn’t affect them. Gold might interfere with their ability to do whatever they want.
