Answer to Question 1

The effect on stock prices will be ambiguous, all else fixed. What the Fed is expected to do in response can change this. If the Fed is expected to act to keep interest rates constant, Y will fall and stock prices will fall. If the Fed is expected to offset any output effects by reducing rates, stock prices will rise.
