  • S&P 500 Drops $1.4 Trillion After Strong Jobs Report Shifts Rate Cut Expectations
    June 7, 2026, 6:44 PM EDT. The S&P 500 wiped out $1.4 trillion in market value following a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report showing 172,000 new positions in May, nearly double estimates. The data defied expectations of weakening labor markets that had fueled hopes for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. Instead, the robust hiring and a 3.8% inflation rate have shifted investor sentiment toward the possibility of rate hikes extending into 2027. This shift triggered the steepest single-day drop in the S&P 500 since October 2025. Additional pressure came from Meta's planned multi-billion stock offering and concerns over increased supply from upcoming IPOs by SpaceX and Anthropic, which weighed on AI stocks near record highs.
