Highlights and Lowlights

Markets rallied early in the week as the Fed first announced its latest monetary policy, helping to somewhat offset the steep sell-off that was quick to come. Investors seemed to ultimately decide that the moves to combat inflation currently at 40-year highs were still quite hawkish. The SPX500 and the DJ30 each fell -0.2%, while the NSDQ100 slid -1.5%.
