The Match Out: ASX falls on Fed rate-hike risk, oil slides on Hormuz deal

The ASX 200 fell away throughout the session as Federal Reserve policymakers under new chair Kevin Warsh signalled the chance of a rate hike later this year, hitting tech, financials and rate-sensitive growth names. Defensives held up best, with Consumer Staples and Healthcare the only sectors to post a meaningful gain, while Energy, Materials and IT led the market lower.
