Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting

A >1,000-point Dow drop following a hold on rates signals macro weakness and higher near-term risk. Historically, large downside days often lead to further near-term volatility, with a tendency for limited downside durability and subsequent rebounds within weeks, especially as earnings and rate expectations evolve.
