Event summary
Shares of nLIGHT, Vertiv, and AeroVironment fell after a helicopter incident in the Strait of Hormuz and concerns over potential interest rate hikes unsettled cyclical sectors. The incident heightened geopolitical risk and deferred capital spending decisions across industrials, while the prospect of rate hikes above 50% for year-end further dampened market sentiment.
