Good MorningEquities gave up some of their gains on Thursday with the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite leading the way. The NASDAQ index fell more than 2.5% at the low of the day as investors weigh the impact of an accelerated FOMC rate-hike timeline on a sector laden with debt. The S&P 500 fell a smaller 1.0% at the low of the day while the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average tried to post a small gain.
In regards to the FOMC and the timing of interest rate hikes, the Fed did not comment on how long after the taper ends it will wait to raise rates. If the Fed waits until May like the market is expecting that will mean 13 months of rising inflation and inflation well above the 2.0% mark. If the inflation trends don’t change and the Fed does wait until May we expect the first hike to be worth 2 to 3 0.25 increases.
