Stocks tumbled on Wednesday after Kevin Warsh’s first press conference as chairman of the Federal Reserve. Warsh said he wasn’t concerned with the market’s reaction to his debut, which is for the best, given the Dow Jones Industrial Average slid 1% while the S&P 500 fell 1.2% and the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.3%. Interest rate increases are one of Wall Street’s concerns, and those seem to be on the table, potentially as soon as this fall, opines Capital Economics’ Chief North America Economist Stephen Brown.
