US stocks wobble after feeling both the upside and downside of a strong jobs report

On Wednesday, U.S. stocks experienced mixed performance following a stronger-than-expected jobs report. The S&P 500 briefly approached record levels before ending slightly down by less than 0.1%, while the Dow Jones shed 66 points and the Nasdaq fell 0.2%. The Labor Department reported 130,000 new jobs in the previous month, defying expectations and easing concerns from recent weak consumer spending data. The positive job growth boosted sectors like energy and materials, with Exxon Mobil and Smurfit Westrock posting notable gains. However, the robust labor market also dampened expectations for imminent interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, leading to higher Treasury yields.

US stocks drift to a mixed finish as yields fall after a discouraging report on US shoppers

On Tuesday, U.S. stock markets had a mixed performance amid hopes for potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 dipped 0.3%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.1% to a new high, and the Nasdaq fell 0.6%. Treasury yields dropped following a disappointing retail sales report, which showed consumer spending in December remained flat, raising concerns about the strength of household spending, a key driver of the economy. This weak economic data increased expectations among traders for multiple Fed rate cuts in 2026.

US stocks halt their AI-induced slide and rise after an encouraging update on inflation

U.S. stock markets rebounded after recent AI-induced selloffs, driven by an encouraging update on inflation. The S&P 500 rose 0.6%, the Dow Jones climbed 205 points (0.4%), and the Nasdaq added 0.5%. Investor sentiment improved after January inflation data showed prices were up 2.4% year-over-year—lower than December’s 2.7% and better than economists expected. Core inflation reached its lowest level in nearly five years, easing pressure on the Federal Reserve to maintain high interest rates, though cuts remain on hold for now.
