What happened

Well supportedReported by 24 independent outlets

Markets declined sharply after economists polled indicated the probability of a Federal Reserve rate hike at the next FOMC meeting surged to 100% from 82% the previous session. This shift followed a stronger-than-anticipated Consumer Price Index reading, which showed prices rising 0.4% last month for the third consecutive month at that pace or higher. The Nasdaq Composite fell 187.26 points, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 157.86 points.
