NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 15, 2017 / U.S. markets dipped Wednesday after the Federal Reserve announced its decision to raise interest rates. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.22 percent to close at 21,374.56 and the S&P 500 Index declined 0.10 percent to close at 2,437.92. Consumer-staples and Utilities were the top gaining sectors in the S&P 500 Index on Wednesday with gains of 0.5 percent, while the Energy Sector was biggest loser with a decline of approximately 2 percent.

"Many hoped the Fed would give details about the unwinding of the balance sheet, like how much and how soon and at what pace. But the Fed was vague, only saying it will start to 'shrink gradually' sometime this year. They gave themselves a lot of leverage to shrink the balance sheet as they see fit," said JJ Kinahan, Chief Market Strategist at TD Ameritrade. "When a rate hike probability is at 99%, it is very difficult to have a big reaction after the announcement," he said.
