Dow Tumbles as Investors Fear Rate Hike; MHCV Values Also Fall

March-6-2015-stock-market

MHCV values dropped 1.71% today.  In the stocks we track, most lost value. One exception was CG up 1.19%.

Reuters tells MHProNews that U.S. stocks closed lower on Friday and the S&P 500 declined for a second straight week after a strong monthly jobs report as investors bet that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates sooner than previously expected.

Some of the worst-hit stocks were utilities and real estate investment trusts as they are high-yielding investments which would look less attractive after a rate hike.

The S&P and the Dow, which accelerated their declines as the day wore on, were under additional pressure because they had hit records earlier in the week after a strong February.

Listed below are the closing numbers for today’s stock trading.

            Dow Jones    17,856.85         -278.87           (-1.54%).

            S&P 500          2,071.26           -29.78           (-1.42%).
