Investors pummeled U.S. stocks which are now at the lowest levels since 2020. The selling was complicated by worsening housing data, spiking mortgage rates and a no-confidence vote in the Federal Reserve after Wednesday’s 0.75% basis point rate hike. In commodities, oil rose 2% to $117.58 per barrel. 

Defensive stocks including Dow members Walmart, P&G, J&J and Merck bucked the selling with modest gains.
