The major equity averages are looking at a lower opening today. This comes on the heels of a volatile session, which saw the market sell off into the afternoon, when the Federal Reserve released its monetary policy decision, and then hold a portion of those losses into the closing bell. The bearish mood is a reaction to the FOMC statement, which showed that the central bank may consider raising rates sooner than expected, with perhaps two monetary tightenings ahead of the timeline provided last year.
