U.S. Stocks Erase $1 Trillion After Fed Holds Rates Steady, Pushing Nasdaq 100 Into 11% Correction
U.S. stocks fell sharply after the Federal Reserve decided to hold interest rates steady, wiping more than $1 trillion from market capitalization in 30 minutes. The selloff pushed the Nasdaq 100 index into a technical correction, dropping 11% from its June peak.
The equity selloff coincided with a spike in borrowing costs, as the 30-year Treasury yield jumped to 5.21%, marking the highest level since mid-2007. Swap markets adjusted pricing to remove the full probability of a September rate hike, while Fed Chair Warsh suggested the bond market is already helping curb inflation. The divergence between long- and short-term yields on the day marked a move not recorded since 1987, while intraday volatility left the S&P 500 down 0.1% and the Dow down 1.3%.
