Why Americas closed broadly down
Nasdaq Sell‑off

Nasdaq declined sharply following hawkish projections from the Fed suggesting at least one rate hike this year.

Tech Rotation

Broad profit‑taking in richly valued technology and semiconductor stocks weighed on equity performance.

Fed Hawkishness

Equities broadly slumped as traders priced in higher interest rates after Fed projections raised tightening odds.
