[1/2] The Wall Street entrance to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is seen in New York City, U.S., November 15, 2022. Future economic growth prospects were in focus on Tuesday following comments from financial titans pointing toward uncertain times ahead. The S&P banks index (.SPXBK) was down 2.6%, with Bank of America leading declines with a 5.6% drop. Fears about economic growth come amid a re-evaluation by traders of what path future interest rate hikes will take, following strong data on jobs and the services sector in recent days. "If economic growth continues to be better than what people are expecting, there are chances that the Fed would have to continue to be hawkish," said Rusty Vanneman, chief investment strategist at Orion Advisor Solutions.
