The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index slid 2.3 percent yesterday, capping its first 5 percent retreat in eight months, while Japan’s Topix index plunged 4.8 percent for its biggest decrease since June.

The Fed left unchanged its statement that the target interest rate will be left near zero ‘well past the time’ that unemployment falls below 6.5 percent.”
