DJIA futures lower 300 points, extending the Fed-driven bearish movement

The stock market is set to close the week on the losing side after the sharp bearish movement. Traders and investors seem to think that the Fed will keep raising interest-rate to combat inflation and it might lead to a more aggressive rate hike in the next meeting. Nevertheless, the current situation might continue bearish until next year and traders who want to enter long positions might want to stay cautious.
