Look at how Powell's appointment scared the kids, interest rate cuts + balance sheet reduction drained liquidity, leading to a scarcity of dollars and a rise in value, making it harder to borrow money.

This practice is called "quantity-price separation" in finance: lowering the price of money (interest rates) while reducing the quantity of money (liquidity).
