God do I miss the Pre-Covid Trump days! Biden's economy continues to hurt us all. Of course we could ask for a government bailout to get back what I've lost since he became president.
Stocks sink as Fed Chair Jerome Powell promises 'forceful and rapid' action on inflation
Dow now down nearly 900 points
From CNN Business' Paul R. La Monica
There was nowhere to run to and nowhere to hide on Wall Street Friday. The Dow plunged nearly 900 points in late afternoon trading. All 30 stocks were in the red. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq sank, too, plummeting 3% and 3.5% respectively.
The reason for the sell-off? Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell didn't sound all that dovish about future interest rate hikes during his speech in Jackson Hole Friday. The odds of another big rate hike (three-quarters of a point versus a half-point) at the Fed's next meeting on September 21 shot up following his comments.
Powell even mentioned that there could be some "pain" for consumers and businesses as the Fed uses higher rates to fight inflation.
