Investors are fragile amid the Federal Reserve’s looming policy shift.

Interest rates, which have remained low for over six years, have helped stocks reach record highs. ‘We are heading back into a period were good news is actually bad news,’ said David Lebovitz, global markets strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds. ‘The good economic data does suggest that the Fed may hike rates sooner rather than later,’ according to Lebovitz. TheStreet’s Scott Gamm reports from New York.
