Stock Market Plummets as Strong Jobs Report Undermines Rate Cut Prospects

Reported 26 days ago

US stocks fell sharply on Friday, with the Dow Jones dropping 697 points, after a stronger-than-expected December jobs report reduced expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts in 2025. The report indicated the economy added 256,000 jobs, lowering the unemployment rate to 4.1%, which led to a rise in bond yields and a bearish outlook for the stock market.
