Stocks drop after strong jobs data renews rate worries

U.S. stocks slid Friday to close the week lower as investors weighed May jobs data that likely gave Fed policymakers a signal labor market conditions can weather a more aggressive rate hiking cycle.

Friday’s sell-off was led by tech stocks, with the Nasdaq Composite falling 2.5{1b90e59fe8a6c14b55fbbae1d9373c165823754d058ebf80beecafc6dee5063a}. The S&P 500 fell 1.6{1b90e59fe8a6c14b55fbbae1d9373c165823754d058ebf80beecafc6dee5063a}, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 350 points, or 1{1b90e59fe8a6c14b55fbbae1d9373c165823754d058ebf80beecafc6dee5063a}.

Treasury yields rose following Friday’s jobs data, with the yield on 10-year Treasury jumping as much as 7 basis points to just below 3{1b90e59fe8a6c14b55fbbae1d9373c165823754d058ebf80beecafc6dee5063a}, before retreating to finish the week at 2.96{1b90e59fe8a6c14b55fbbae1d9373c165823754d058ebf80beecafc6dee5063a}.

The Labor Department’s latest monthly employment report published Friday morning showed 390,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy in May, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 3.6{1b90e59fe8a6c14b55fbbae1d9373c165823754d058ebf80beecafc6dee5063a}. Economists had expected job gains to total 318,000 with the unemployment rate falling to 3.5{1b90e59fe8a6c14b55fbbae1d9373c165823754d058ebf80beecafc6dee5063a}, per Bloomberg consensus data.

Although job growth slowed from April, the labor market remains tight, suggesting the Federal Reserve may proceed with tightening monetary conditions further by raising interest rates — a point of worry for investors who fear central bank policies may tip the economy into a recession.

“Overall, it seems like the job creation machine runs on full-steam and anecdotal evidence has it that hiring remains difficult for businesses of all sizes as demand outpaces supply,” Christian Scherrmann, DWS’ U.S. Economist said in a note.

“Looking ahead, the Fed is most likely to feel reassured that it has struck the right balance lately,” Scherrmann added. “That, in turn, means it is likely to stick to its aggressive monetary normalization path.”

Furthermore, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Loretta Mester indicated in an interview with CNBC Friday that she supports half point hikes at the next two policy-setting meetings in June and July, and more in autumn if prices don’t cool. Investors had previously hoped for a pause after the summer months.

“I’m going to come into the September meeting, if I don’t see compelling evidence [that inflation is cooling], I could easily be at 50 basis points in that meeting as well,” she said.

In Friday’s session, shares of Tesla (TSLA) closed down more than 9{1b90e59fe8a6c14b55fbbae1d9373c165823754d058ebf80beecafc6dee5063a} to $703.55 per share after Reuters reported CEO Elon Musk warned of a “super bad feeling” about the economy and said the company is expected to trim about 10{1b90e59fe8a6c14b55fbbae1d9373c165823754d058ebf80beecafc6dee5063a} of salaried jobs in an email to executives.

Musk also motioned management to “pause all hiring worldwide” in the note. The electric-vehicle giant joins a growing docket of companies that have recently reported grappling with headwinds from macroeconomic uncertainty.

Musk’s warning comes just days after JPMorgan Chase (JPM) boss Jamie Dimon cautioned of a “hurricane” bearing down on the U.S. economy.

8:51 a.m. ET: A few early highlights from a first pass at the jobs report

The headline numbers on the May jobs report were right down the middle.

But underneath the surface we’ve got a few indications of where the winds are blowing in a dynamic U.S. labor market.

The number of workers employed in retail fell by 60,700 last month, a sign we’re likely to see folks interpret as indicative of a softening consumer backdrop. The 47,000-worker increase in transportation and warehousing, however, suggests the Amazon side of the retail economy remains intact for now.

Industry-level data also shows leisure & hospitality logged the biggest gains last month, which comes as little surprise given the indications we’ve seen from travel-related plays about their demand backdrop leading into the summer months.

In terms of labor market composition, a 211,000-worker decline in the labor force is notable, as retirements were seen as a headwind last year to the labor market making a full and timely recovery from the pandemic-induced shock.

The duration of unemployment data also gives us an interesting look at the “barbell” structure of the labor market right now — more than 100,000 fewer workers were classified as either unemployed for less than 5 weeks or unemployed for more than 27 weeks. So we see the short-term and long-term unemployed decline as a portion of the overall unemployed population, and from this we could see an argument being made that this remains an “anyone who wants a job can get a job” kind of labor market recovery.
