Good MorningInvestors and market-watchers got a shock on Wednesday when the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee announced its latest interest rate decision. The committee left rates unchanged and indicated it would continue to buy U.S. assets as expected but the outlook dimmed. The FOMC says that economic growth, while robust in the 4th quarter, slowed significantly as COVID-risks emerged.
The S&P 500 and other major indices started the day in negative territory and extended the losses after the FOMC announcement. The S&P 500 fell more than 2.5% by the end of the day and could continue to fall in the coming days. The VIX, the so-called “fear index”, surged more than 30% to a two month in the early stages of a reversal. A reversal in the VIX is ultimately bad for the market and could indicate a deep correction is on the way. Featured: These 4 Cryptos Are Screaming Buys With 10X Potential (IPM)
