ASX lithium shares are a bit of a mixed bag amid the rout across the Aussie stock market today.
At the time of writing, the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) is down 2.48% following heavy declines on Wall Street overnight.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average Index (DJX: .DJI) tanked 3.94%, along with the tech-heavy NASDAQ-100 (NASDAQ: NDX) losing 5.54% and the S&P 500 Index (SP: .INX) shedding 4.32%.
This marked the biggest one-day loss in two years for Wall Street following the release of the consumer price index report for August.
Subsequently, around $60 billion has been wiped off the ASX as global markets reel from the disappointing inflation data.
The US Federal Reserve could lift interest rates by 100 basis points as opposed to the previously forecasted 75 basis points.
It appears the market is bracing for such a move by the US central bank.
While there's mostly a sea of red on the ASX, some lithium shares are defying the sell-off.
