What started off as a third-quarter rebound has turned into a flop for tech investors. The central bank took its federal funds rate up to a range of 3%-3.25%, the highest it's been since early 2008, following the third consecutive 0.75 percentage point move. Meanwhile, as rising rates have pushed the 10-year treasury yield to its highest in 11 years, the dollar has been strengthening. That makes U.S. products more expensive in other countries, hurting tech companies that are heavy on exports. "This is a one-two punch on tech," Jack Ablin, Cresset Capital's chief investment officer, told CNBC's "TehcCheck" on Friday.
Stocks tumbled on Tuesday as the sell-off on Wall Street mounted and investors braced for another large rate hike due out Wednesday from the Federal Reserve. The Federal Open Markets Committee began its two-day policy meeting on Tuesday, where central bankers are expected to announce a 0.75 percentage point rate hike on Wednesday. Stocks have tumbled in recent weeks as comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell and an unexpectedly hot August consumer price index report caused traders to prepare for even higher rates until inflation cools. Rates marched higher as equities fell, with the yield on the 2-year Treasury note notching a fresh high dating back to late 2007. Tuesday’s move followed a choppy trading session that saw stocks rise in the afternoon and snap a two-day losing streak.

After the CPI release, the futures market for fed funds priced a big jump higher in the terminal rate, or end point where the Fed stops hiking.
The dollar's record rally is wreaking havoc on some of the biggest companies in the world this earnings season. Morgan Stanley's Michelle Weaver said in a note to clients this week that the dollar's rally presents a headwind to earnings for U.S. companies, which make roughly 30% of sales abroad combined. Technology stocks are among the biggest behemoths so far to report headwinds from the dollar's strength this earnings season. Meanwhile, consumer discretionary names like Hasbro and Mattel are also feeling the pinch from the dollar's rally. While companies remain cautious going forward, some analysts and big investors also believe the dollar's rally has already shown signs that it's rolling over.
