NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 14, 2018 / U.S. markets fell Wednesday after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates and hinted at more increases were coming in 2018. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.47 percent to close at 25,201.20, while the S&P 500 Index fell 0.40 percent to close at 2,775.63. The Nasdaq Composite Index declined 0.11 percent to close at 7,695.70. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark short-term interest rate by 0.25 percent.

"I think the market is quite rightly globing on to the view that this is a more hawkish tone," said Eric Lascelles, chief economist at RBC Global Asset Management, according to CNBC. "On the economic side, notwithstanding a middling start to the year, second-quarter economic growth is tracking for 4 percent. While that's probably not sustainable ... all of the economic checkpoints are reading quite strong."
