Benzinga examined the outlook for many investors’ favorite stocks this past week – here’s a look at some of our top stories.

What started as a strong week reversed course after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates on Wednesday, leading to another straight down week for the markets. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1.7%, the S&P 500 fell 2.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite fell 2.7% this week.

On Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee voted unanimously to raise the Fed Funds rate by 0.5% to a new range of between 4.25% and 4.5%. Economists expect the central bank to continue raising interest rates in early 2023 in an attempt to bring inflation under control.
