At 9:52 AM ET,metatrader4 deposit process the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 419 points or 1.2%, while the S&P 500 fell 1.5% and the NASDAQ Composite fell 2.3%.
Powell sparked a end-of-day rally on Wednesday after saying the policy makers weren't considering a bigger rate hike, though he did suggest another half-point increase was in the cards for the next meeting. The seemingly less aggressive than feared stance sent technology stocks soaring, though stocks across the board were taking a breather on Thursday.
