What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Following the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike, utilities like Southern Company and NextEra Energy experienced poor stock performance. Financial services firms, including JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, have also pulled back. The hike was the first in three years, and reports indicate that higher interest rates slow the economy and hurt business transaction volumes.
