Chair Jerome Powell said the Federal Reserve is not close to ending its anti-inflation campaign of interest-rate increases as officials signaled borrowing costs will head higher than investors expect next year.
The S&P 500 index dropped as investors digested the news. Let's review S&P 500’s performance on FOMC days in 2022.
