NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 27, 2018 / U.S. markets fell sharply Wednesday after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates and indicated another increase would be coming in December. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.4 percent to close at 26,385.28, while the S&P 500 Index declined 0.33 percent to close at 2,905.97. The Nasdaq Composite Index decreased 0.21 percent to close at 7,990.37.
“It was virtually a foregone conclusion, and that may cause some investors to scratch their heads a bit given all the uncertainty in the market, with trade barbs flying, an unstable housing market, and ballooning federal debt,” according to Mike Loewengart, vice president of investment strategy at E-Trade Financial Corp. “But the Fed needs to build up its toolbox to address a variety of economic conditions, which makes getting back to a normalized rate environment so important. They will drive towards that end state until the economic landscape is dramatically different,” Loewengart added.
