The ASX 200 was down 0.45% today, with looming US interest-rate hikes still shadowing investor confidence.
Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and Deutsche Bank all expect the Fed to lift rates four times this year.
By sector, ASX 200 consumer staples stocks were hit the hardest, down 2.05%. Woolworths (ASX:WOW) and Coles (ASX:COL) dropped 2.05% and 2.17% respectively — not surprising, with nationwide supply shortages and Omicron impacting supermarket staff availability.

“Being able to partner with the likes of Paul Coffey, Nicklas Lidstrom, Mike Vernon, and the countless other NHL Alumni that skated across our screens will allow us to deliver the authentically Canadian gaming experience that we want to bring sports fans.”

Inghams Group (ASX:ING) fell today, after releasing an update detailing how the rapid spread of the Omicron variant across Eastern Australian States from December 2021 – and the resulting staff shortages – are now also having a significant impact on the Australian supply chain, operations, logistics and sales performance of the company.
CEO and MD Andrew Reeves said the changes to isolation rules for close contacts in the food sector should help alleviate some staff shortages and that the company expects “production capacity to recover relatively quickly to meet customer and consumer demand.”
