Concerns over prolonged high interest rates have started to undermine stocks a little, with risk appetite waning amid a lack of major fresh bullish catalysts ahead of Friday’s publication of core PCE price index.

S&P 500 analysis: Stock market correction may have long way to go
US stocks sold off sharply ever since the Fed delivered that hawkish interest rate pause on Wednesday.
