Wall Street spooked by new Fed chief's rate-hike hints — short the broad market on momentum
The stock market had its worst reaction to a new Federal Reserve chair since 1994, dropping over 1%. The new chairman, Kevin Warsh, surprised the market by hinting that interest rates might actually go UP later this year to fight inflation, causing bond yields to spike.
Idea
When the Federal Reserve unexpectedly hints at raising borrowing costs instead of lowering them, it spooks the stock market because loans get more expensive for companies and consumers. The S&P 500 just had its worst reaction to a new Fed chair in nearly 30 years, showing intense investor panic. With bond yields jumping and the committee divided, traders are likely to keep selling riskier stocks in the short term as they wait for the dust to settle.
