Fed’s Hawkish Turn Brings Sharp Drop in S&P 500

The Federal Reserve (Fed) announced a hawkish turn at its December meeting, sending the S&P 500 (SPX) plummeting 2.95% due to the interest rate decision and Powell’s press conference.

The move suggests the Fed is likely making the last of its rate hikes to combat inflation, indicating a shift towards more conservative monetary policies in the future. This change has significant implications for investors and the broader market.

Analysts at Seeking Alpha warn that past performance does not guarantee future results and stress that no investment advice is being provided. They also clarify that their views may not reflect those of the platform as a whole.
