Blue-chip stocks plummet, pulling Dow lower

The major U.S. benchmarks are erasing gains made earlier in the week as key blue-chip stocks pull the Dow down, extending its year-to-date deficit. Before recovering some losses, the index tracking 30 large, publicly-owned companies fell as much as 800 points to an intraday low of 32,573.43 around 1:30 p.m. Eastern time.

In an interview with FOX Business, Edward Moya, a senior market analyst for OANDA in New York said, “It looks like the Grinch is here to stay.”

“Investors are nervous that we have yet to see the true impact of global central bank tightening, and they will remain overly defensive and shy away from interest-rate sensitive sectors,” he explained. “Boring stocks with nice dividend returns will start to look attractive again, while some investors will give fixed income a good look as yields become more attractive than investing in some of the major indexes.”

Last week, the U.S. Federal Reserve remained committed to its interest rate hike strategy, moving the fed funds rate 50-basis points higher to cool inflationary pressures not seen in more than four decades. Many observers expect the Fed’s policy moves to send the U.S. economy into a recession.

  1. This economy is the Democrat economic “wet dream”. Destroying a high functioning, prosperous, productive, capitalistic economy in less than two years and bringing it to its knees is pure joy to Democrats. That is why they have the Fidel and Mao posters in their homes. Get used to it. The sociopathic thug Democrats are in charge for the foreseeable future.

    1. Your urges to lash out may become enhanced during the holiday stress – it is common for those with anger issues. Try to find a positive outlet. Forgiveness is a high goal, but one you can maybe one day achieve. Here’s hoping you feel better in the new year!

      1. Well, with 2023 around the corner and a new Republican House to have investigations that afterwards, should put Hunter Biden in jail and Joe Biden impeached if there is any true justice left in this country, then yeah, I’ll be feeling better in the new year!

        1. I would also have a plan B just in case your fantasy doesn’t become reality. Then either way it works out, you can be happy about something.

          Let’s all do a good deed today!

        The next civil war will be fought between Americans and libturds. One side has 300 million firearms and trillions of rounds of ammunition, the other has strap-on dildos and toilet plungers.

        Fuck Joe Biden. Fuck libturds

        1. You have it exactly, BACKWARDS. Your Blue Team through woke manipulation methods and CANCEL CULTURE is hell bent on forcing Communist Socialism on every American citizen. Wake up!…

    1. The Democrats love the poor. Soon, they will be very generous and offer everyone a Universal Basic Income. It will be pretty low, but it will be “universal” and it will be “income”. Almost everybody will get it because nobody will have any money any more. Like Klaus Schwab, the Democrat Financial and Society Planner promised us all, “you will own nothing and you will be happy.” Private jets and enormous mansions will still be permitted for just a few of the vitally important power players who are setting up the Universal Basic Income. For the little people.
