Fears of higher rates plunges US stocks

On Tuesday, low trading volume, a lull in economic news, and the lack of a catalyst to raise stocks higher sparked a sell-off by investors concerned that market upside is small.

Yellen said rates will likely rise as government spending ramps up and the economy responds with faster growth, comments that economists regarded as self-evident. In a subsequent interview, the former Federal Reserve Chair said she wasn’t predicting or recommending rate hikes.

The debate about whether government spending would lead to excessive inflation is taking place at a time when market valuations are nearing two-decade highs. Despite some astronomically high corporate profits, investors have been hesitant to extend rallies. Although the Fed has assured investors that interest rates will stay at current lows throughout the recovery, improving data has fueled fears that policymakers will tighten earlier than expected.
