What does Friday’s sweeping sell-off mean for Wall Street?

Season 2018 Episode 52 | 2m 49s

Stocks plunged on Friday over fears that the Federal Reserve will accelerate interest rate hikes. The sell-off was driven by news that the economy added a net of 200,000 jobs in January, with wages rising at the fastest pace in more than eight years. Judy Woodruff gets analysis from Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist of Charles Schwab.
