Jobs Report Sparks 0.9% Drop in Stock Futures

Stock index futures experienced a significant decline on Friday following the release of a surprisingly robust jobs report. The S&P 500 futures, Nasdaq 100 futures, and Dow futures all fell by 0.9%. This reaction was driven by the unexpected strength in the employment data. Additionally, the 10-year Treasury yield increased by 9 basis points, reaching 4.78%. Meanwhile, the 2-year yield also saw an uptick. These movements in the financial markets highlight the sensitivity of investors to economic indicators, particularly those related to employment and interest rates.
