上周五，美国三大股指均下跌，蓝筹股道琼斯指数下跌逾500点，创下10月以来最糟糕的一周，因投资者在美联储态度强硬之后清算了通货再膨胀交易。美联储暗示，最早可能在2023年加息，速度比最初想象的要快，而主席鲍威尔（Jerome Powell）表示，也已就逐步减少债券购买进行了初步讨论。除此之外，圣路易斯联储主席詹姆斯·布拉德（James Bullard）有关提前加息前景的言论，令股市面临越来越大的压力。下跌最明显的是最近反弹的那些经济敏感板块，包括能源、金融和材料股。标普500指数本周下跌近2%，打破了连续四周的上涨势头，而以科技股为主的纳斯达克100指数（Nasdaq 100）本周表现出色，以高姿态收市。

All three main US stock indexes lost ground on Friday, with the blue-chip Dow tumbling more than 500 points to post their worst week since October as investors liquidated reflation trades in the wake of a hawkish Fed. The US central bank signalled it might raise interest rates as early as 2023, a faster pace than initially thought, while Chair Jerome Powell said there had also been initial discussions about a bond-buying tapering. On top of that, comments from James Bullard, president of the St Louis Fed, about the prospects of an even earlier interest rate increase have put equities under increasing pressure. Falls were most pronounced in those economically sensitive sectors of the market that had recently rallied, including energy, financials and materials stocks. The S&P 500 lost nearly 2% this week to snap a four-week winning streak, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 outperformed its peers by finishing the week on a high note.
