Wall Street's Rollercoaster: Tech Stocks Tumble after May Jobs Report

Wall Street saw a sharp downturn as technology stocks fell following a strong May jobs report. The Nasdaq composite dropped 4.2%, while the S&P 500 lost 2.65%. The decline, triggered by weak guidance from Broadcom and rising Treasury yields, has investors concerned about interest rate hikes by year end.

Wall Street witnessed a significant decline on Friday, marking the end of its best run in three years. Investors pulled back from technology stocks, government bonds, and gold, spurred by a robust May jobs report that reignited concerns about potential U.S. interest rate hikes.

The Nasdaq composite suffered a 4.2% drop, its worst in over a year, as investors withdrew from AI and semiconductor stocks. Similarly, the S&P 500 declined 2.65%, closing a nine-week streak of gains, just before SpaceX's upcoming historic IPO.
