US Stock Market Wrap: Hawkish dot plot crushes the market, stock-bond-gold “triple kill,” and the U.S. dollar surges
The Federal Reserve’s first rate hike in three years, with the dot plot implying another hike later in the year. A fully hawkish statement from the Fed chairman shattered any hopes for rate cuts. All three major U.S. stock indexes fell for a third straight session: the Dow tumbled 1.21%, hitting a three-month low; the S&P 500 dropped 0.44%, while the Nasdaq managed to hold roughly flat, supported by AI. Energy and financials led the decline, while optical communications bucked the trend and gained.
Asset impact snapshot:
US stocks: Near-term pressure builds. The S&P 7550 key support level is under threat; a break would trigger accelerated downside from negative gamma.
US Treasuries: The 2-year yield jumped to 4.74%, the highest in two years; the yield curve quickly flattened further in a bear steepening pattern.
Dollar: The index returned to 100; the day’s gain is the largest since December 2024.
Gold: Slumped 3%, falling below $4,240 and hitting a new low since early in the month.
Crude oil: Down 3.6%; Middle East supply eases, but risks have not disappeared.
The Fed has made it clear it will keep rates “higher for longer,” forcing the market to reprice the tightening path. Stocks, bonds, and gold all face near-term pressure, and the dollar’s strength is hard to reverse. Focus on the S&P 7550 “life-or-death line”; if it breaks, risk-off is the better choice. AI and optical communications, which are holding up relatively better, can be considered defensive areas of attention.#点阵图预示2026年再加息一次 #美联储加息25基点美股收跌 #比特币ETF净流出4.5亿美元
