The central bank made this announcement at 2 p.m. ET on June 17. By the time the stock market closed two hours later, shares of Home Depot(NYSE: HD) and Lowe's Companies(NYSE: LOW) had each fallen between 2.5% and 3%. By market close the following day on June 18, both retail stocks had basically clawed back their losses.
