The S&P 500 will fall another 10% before the sell-off bottoms out. The investment chief at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management said the odds of two consecutive quarters of negative growth doubled after the Fed's super-sized rate hike this month, and there's another 5%-10% lower to go for stocks.
That would be on top of the already 20% slide in the S&P 500, which has put the market on track for the worst first half of the year since 1970. Morgan Stanley's Lisa Shalett said that stocks have further to fall because investors still aren't pricing in the Fed's new hawkishness.

US energy sector employment increased by 300,000 jobs in 2021, but the oil and natural gas industry shed more than 31,000 jobs -- a 6.4% drop -- despite increasing fossil fuel production, an Energy Information Administration report reveals.
