Stocks wobble as Wall Street questions whether the US job market has slowed by enough or too much
Investors face uncertainty as August job hires fell short, prompting traders to price in a 100% chance of Federal Reserve rate cuts at the September meeting.
- On September 5, 2025, U.S. stocks wobbled lower as the S&P 500 fell 20.58 points to 6,481.50, the Dow dropped 220.43 points to 45,400.86, and the Nasdaq slipped 7.31 points to 21,700.39 amid market volatility.
- The fluctuations followed disappointing U.S. labor data showing fewer hires in August and uncertainties about whether the slowdown will trigger Federal Reserve rate cuts or signal an economic downturn.
- Asian markets rebounded with Japan's Nikkei 225 rallying 1% on earnings growth data while Chinese indexes in Hong Kong and Shanghai rose over 1% after three days of decline, reflecting strength across Asia.
- Nvidia, the chip company leading the AI boom, dropped 2.8% due to concerns that its stock price rose too fast and became too expensive, while Broadcom climbed 9.5% on better-than-expected quarterly results.
- Market participants now fully price in a Federal Reserve rate cut at the September 17 meeting, reflecting hopes the Goldilocks scenario of easing rates alongside continued economic growth can be achieved.
