These 10 stocks in the S&P 500 soared at least 8% after the Fed made its big move — but only 3 have gains for 2022

Wednesday turned into a big day for stocks — the S&P 500 index had its largest one-day percentage gain in nearly two years — after the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate by half a percentage point and announced plans to begin reducing its bond portfolio next month.

But key stock-market benchmarks — and many of the day’s biggest movers — remain deep in the red for the year, underscoring what a difficult period it has been for investors. The Nasdaq Composite Index
COMP,
+3.19%
,
which added 3.2% on Wednesday, has plummeted 17.1% for 2022. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
DJIA,
+2.81%

is down a more modest 6.3% for the year after Wednesday’s 2.8% bump.
