Wall Street drifted modestly lower early Thursday amid increasing anxiety following Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell's warning to Congress this week that rate hikes might accelerate because upward pressure on prices has been stronger than expected. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrials slipped 0.1% and the S&P 500 fell 0.3% before the bell.
