Fed's Barkin leaves another rate hike on the table — rates uncertainty hits markets mid-session.
Barkin called it an "open question" whether further tightening is needed to hit the inflation target. Rate-sensitive names are splitting: HOOD is leading at +3.52% ($98.475) and TSLA holds +1.82% ($333.64), while ASTS slides -2.37% ($72.62) and COIN dips -0.45% ($148.67).
Watch: ASTS $72.62 — holding or losing this level tells you how much rate anxiety is bleeding into high-beta growth. HOOD $98.475 — a push through $100 intraday would signal the tape is shrugging off Barkin entirely.
