Stocks selling off and pushing the S&P 500 back into bear market territory as investors brace for the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates this week. Jefferies economist Thomas Simons explains why he thinks the Fed will raise rates by 75 basis points this week to help combat runaway inflation and whether these aggressive rate hikes could spark a recession. But Atlas Merchant Capital CEO Bob Diamond doesn't think that's aggressive enough and says the Fed should raise rates by 100 basis points. Citi U.S. Equity Strategist Scott Chronert says investors should be buying health care stocks as a defensive trade amid this market volatility. UBS Private Wealth management’s Alli McCartney reveals why she thinks the market could remain volatile for a long time. And Bitfury CEO Brian Brooks reacts to Bitcoin’s plunge and whether crypto lending company Celsius pausing customer withdrawals is a warning sign for investors.
