NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 22, 2017 / U.S. markets retreated from record highs a day after the Federal Reserve announced that it would begin unwinding its $4.5 trillion balance sheet in October and left a possibility of an another rate hike on the table in 2017. The Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.24 percent to close at 22,359.23, breaking a streak of 9 consecutive daily gains, while the S&P 500 Index fell 0.30 percent to close at 2,500.60. The NASDAQ Composite Index dropped 0.52 percent to close at 6,422.69. The technology sector slumped as Apple Inc. dropped 1.7 percent due to issues with its latest smartwatch.

"The market is sorting through to what extent it needs to incorporate future Fed activity into its thinking," said Mike Allison, a portfolio manager with Eaton Vance. "There's some uncertainty as to the impact since interest rates have been so low for so long."
