Stocks Dive Amid Tech Sell-Off, Inflation In-Focus
The Schwab Market Update highlighted a broad market sell‑off on June 8, driven by a sharp drop in tech and chip stocks after a stronger‑than‑expected jobs report pushed Treasury yields above 4.5%. Investors are now pricing a >70% chance of a Fed rate hike by year‑end, putting the upcoming May CPI and June PPI data in focus as key inflation gauges.

Analyst Cooper Howard emphasized that despite robust employment numbers, the market’s reaction reflects concerns over higher rates and weaker demand for U.S. Treasuries, which could keep yields elevated.
