Nasdaq futures slip as rate rise fears cast pall over stocks

U.S. stock futures were mixed on Thursday, with highly-rated tech stocks pressured by renewed wariness over higher interest rates.

How are stock-index futures trading On Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA rose 92 points, or 0.27%, to 33665, the S&P 500 SPX declined 16 points, or 0.38%, to 4268, and the Nasdaq Composite COMP dropped 172 points, or 1.29%, to 13105. “Uh oh. The surprise 25 basis point hike from the Bank of Canada yesterday sent shockwaves across the financial markets. BoC decision to resume its rate hikes after a two-meeting pause and the surprise 25bp from the Reserve Bank of Australia a day earlier fueled the central bank hawks around the world and boosted the Federal Reserve rate hike expectations as well,” said Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst and Swissquote Bank.

“American investors have been delivered a reminder that further tightening is still on central bankers’ minds,” said Derren Nathan, head of equity research at Hargreaves Lansdown.
