Wall Street closes sharply lower on 'hawkish' Fed
Post# of 123676
NEW YORK, Jan 5 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks ended down sharply on Wednesday after U.S. Federal Reserve meeting minutes signaled the central bank may have to raise interest rates sooner than expected.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq quickly extended their declines after the minutes which investors viewed as more hawkish than they had feared. The Dow, which hit a record high earlier in the day, reversed course and also closed lower.
The minutes from the Fed's Dec. 14-15 policy meeting offered more details on the central bank's shift last month toward a tighter monetary policy to curb inflation. Policymakers said last month that the U.S. labor market was "very tight."
