Prospect of more US interest rate rises sends stock markets tumbling

Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank's policy committee was "of a mind" to start raising rates in March, and that it would be guided by the economic data. FRANCE 24's Business Editor Stephen Carroll looks at the market reaction to the announcements.
