U.S. stock markets fell sharply after a stronger-than-expected May 2026 employment report heightened expectations of further Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. The Nasdaq Composite dropped 1,121.53 points, or 4.18 percent, to 25,709.43, its largest single-day point loss on record and steepest percentage decline since April 10, 2025. For the week, the Nasdaq was down 4.68 percent. The S&P 500 fell 2.63 percent to 7,384.67, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1.33 percent to 50,877.40. The Labor Department reported 172,000 jobs added in May, far above forecasts of 80,000 to 90,000, and the VIX volatility index jumped nearly 40 percent.
