| NASDAQ 100 -0.74% |
| This week the Fed and the Reserve Bank of Australia raised interest rates. Today, the Bank of England is also expected to raise rates.

When rates rise, there are corrections in the equity market in the short term. The Nasdaq 100 is currently down 0.74% and is trading at 13,422 points. |
