Stocks closed slightly lower Friday and bond yields rose after a surprisingly strong government jobs report raised doubts about whether the Federal Reserve will lower interest rates later this month.
And today (July 5), the markets are a little lower. According to AP:
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.16% shed 43.88 points, or 0.2%, to finish at 26,922.12, the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.18% declined 5.41 points, or 0.2%, to close at 2,990.41, while the Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, -0.10% gave up 8.44 points, or 0.1%, ending at 8,161.79.https://www.marketwatch.com/story/stock-markets-poised-for-a-pull-back-from-records-as-investors-await-friday-jobs-report-2019-07-05?mod=mw_quote_news
