Stocks Fall After Strong Economic Data Spark Interest Rate Fears

Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer releases the Homestretch — an actionable afternoon update, just in time for the last hour of trading on Wall Street. Market update: Stocks are lower on Tuesday afternoon, but off their worst levels of the session. The market started the day on a higher note, buoyed by strength in the semiconductor sector and shrugging off a rare downgrade to sell of Apple. But things turned lower right at 10 a.m.

ET when interest rates soared after a string of better-than-expected economic data. What the market keyed on was the higher-than-expected JOLTS job openings report (which measures demand for workers) and the stronger-than-expected ISM Services Index, especially on prices paid. The data caught the market by surprise because economic releases had been surprising to the downside, as indicated by the Citi U.S. Economic Surprise Index. For the moment, we may be in good economic news is bad news for stocks. The 10-year yield spiked more than 7 basis points to around 4.69% as traders pushed out their bets for interest rate cuts this year and the market digested a $39 billion auction of 10-year bonds. Sector moves: Tuesday is a little contrary to some of the recent market trends. The energy sector is leading the market thanks to oil notching slight gains. Healthcare, which had been under pressure over the past three months, is having a strong day despite no real industry catalyst. All five healthcare stocks in the portfolio — Abbott Labs, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Danaher, GE Healthcare, and Eli Lilly — are up so far in 2025 after disappointing ends to 2024. On the other side, many red hot momentum stocks like MicroStrategy, Applovin, and Palantir gave back recent gains. Nvidia reversed after briefly hitting an all-time high, but we don't see the decline as a sign of disappointment in CEO Jensen Huang's keynote at CES or negativity around physical AI
