Associated Press•42 minutes agoStocks skid as interest rates rise and earnings disappoint
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are falling Thursday as interest rates resume their upward climb and several industrial companies post disappointing third-quarter results. Interest rates started rising a day ago after the Federal Reserve released minutes showing that a minority of its leaders think interest rates will need to keep rising to a level that slightly restricts economic growth. That would affect stocks because it means smaller corporate profits and less spending by consumers.

[$$] Investors Change Tack as Rates Rise
The wild swings in stock and bond markets this month are another sign that investors are struggling to adapt to a world where central banks are curbing the flow of easy money. Many professional investors say the turbulence reflects the early stages of what they call a rotation, a pragmatic decision to reallocate money away from assets whose gains now appear at risk—in this case, the most highly valued stocks such as technology-company shares—to safer sectors such as bonds. Minutes released Wednesday from the Federal Reserve’s September meeting showed officials believe the economy is strong enough to absorb additional rate increases, heightening investor expectations that the central bank will continue on its course of increases.
