Wall Street's three major averages closed lower on Wednesday with the Nasdaq’s 1% loss leading declines after stronger-than-expected services sector data fuelled concerns that still sticky inflation would mean that interest rates stay higher for longer.
Traders were betting on a 93% chance that the Federal Reserve would leave interest rates unchanged after its meeting on Sept 20, while bets on another pause in November were around 57%, CME Group’s FedWatch Tool showed. Earlier in the day Boston Fed president Susan Collins stressed the need for the central bank to “proceed carefully” with its next monetary policy steps.
