The Federal Reserve’s decision to lift rates to 3.75-4.00% has pushed borrowing costs higher for all 30 Dow Jones constituents, driving the index down 152 points to just under 52,000. The unanimous move, described as a response to resilient spending, has widened banking spreads and solidified the day's decline from pre-release levels.

  • Per GN auto markets/indices, the DJIA has slipped approximately 152 points from its pre-release level, trading just under the 52,000 mark as the 12-0 unanimous vote confirms the hike. The index remains roughly 100 points above its intraday low near 51,900, which was established earlier in the session.
