  • Wall Street slips as big tech stocks fall; strong jobs report fuels rate hike bets
    June 7, 2026, 4:15 AM EDT. U.S. stocks fell sharply Friday, with the S&P 500 dropping 2.6%, marking its worst day since October. The Dow lost 1.4%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq plunged 4.2%, dragged down by major technology stocks including Nvidia (-6.2%), Broadcom (-7.9%), and Micron Technology (-13.3%). Meta shares dropped 5.5% amid reports of a potential stock offering to fund AI investments. A stronger-than-expected May jobs report, showing 172,000 new payrolls, strengthened bets that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates later this year. Bond yields rose, with the 10-year Treasury yield climbing to 4.54%. Despite President Trump's calls for rate cuts, markets now largely rule out easing in 2024, focusing instead on possible hikes to combat inflation pressures.
