Markets paused their recovery today as investors started

worrying about rising interest rates eating into economic growth.

Last week, the Federal Reserve Chairman hinted at a willingness to raise interest rates back to normal quickly. The hint of rising rates sent rates higher. At some point, loans get too expensive and start slowing economic activity.

Mortgage applications are already falling as rates hit their highest levels in years.

The Mortgage Bankers Association reported home purchase mortgage volumes down 10% and refinancings down 60% from last year.

The jobs market is stronger than expected, though

. ADP reported private companies hired 455,00 people last month.

, meaning you might not be able to find a buyer at the price you want to sell. You might not be able to find a buyer at all. Most buyers and sellers will also likely be big institutional players, ready to take advantage of newbies. Be careful trading in extended hours.
