What happened after FED's meeting?
We are currently having a sector rotation from tech growth stocks into value stocks after Wednesday's Fed policy of 3 rate hikes in 2022 instead of 2 and also speed up tapering and ending it a few months earlier than expected.
The initial taper plan was $10B for treasury securities and $5B for MBS (Mortgage Backed Securities) but now it has doubled the speed of tapering to $20B for treasury securities and $10B for MBS and tapering to end by March 2022. Which shortly after, rate hikes should come in progressively.
The reason for the fed turning hawkish and a quick shift to taper at a quicker pace and more rate hikes was due to inflation at a 40 year high. They also did not expect inflation to rise above 2% in 2021 and kept mentioning about higher inflation rate being transitory. Current inflation is at 6.8% based on the YOY report.
How did this affect the market on Thursday?
When tapering is sped up, liquidity will be tightened in the market. There will not be as much free cash to be pumped into the market to let prices rally like we have seen the last 2 years.
Interest rate hikes will also dampen valuation on growth stocks as growth stocks are priced in more to future earnings expectations. If rates rise, it will hurt those expectations. Investors will start to see bonds and value stocks that thrive in high-interest rate environments a better asset class thus making it more appealing against higher-risk growth stocks.
Small-cap stocks usually also suffer because they tend to loan more money to fund the growth of the company thus making them more sensitive towards the rate hikes.
Thus we saw the $NASDAQ 100 Index (.NDX.US)$ and $iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM.US)$ mostly small-cap and tech stocks falling much sharper than $Dow Jones Industrial Average (.DJI.US)$ yesterday which consist mainly of value stocks.
What to do now? Should I exit my growth holdings?
That being said, inflation and rate hikes over the long run still don't pose a huge threat to growth stocks. It is usually short-term when the rotation happens towards value stocks. So take this opportunity to find good entry points into the stocks which are undergoing the selloff.
As always, trade safe & invest wise!

$Lucid Group (LCID.US)$ Monday nasdaq 100👍🏻

I’m whatever the opposite of novice is, so this take is coming from a place of a person shaking their head at the stupidity, even though I know not to hate the player, but the game. truth is, inefficiencies create opps. I just want to make sure I have this right. $Rivian Automotive (RIVN.US)$ ’s down 11% AH because earnings were disappointing. That’s dumb enough.  Not that it sold off to the level it did.  It’s routine with SPACs on their 1st report, where they announce btw, we are not making any money yet, just like we said we wouldn’t have.  But you already knew this didn’t you? I mean seriously, Jesus H Christ.  So, $Lucid Group (LCID.US)$ sells off in sympathy.  For no reason folks.  The world is pathetic.  There are a million reasons a stock should go up or down.  One of them is not because an earnings report is released where the company didn’t make any money, just like everyone on the planet paying attention should have known.  And another one is not for companies on the same sector to go down in sympathy.
