Stocks fell at the open even after the U.S. government released jobs growth data that easily beat expectations.

Caterpillar and Goldman Sachs led the 30-stock index lower, falling more than 1% each. Energy, materials and tech dragged down the S&P 500 as each sector fell at least 0.9%.

Stocks were up sharply for the week entering Friday as strong earnings and economic data outweighed worries over the coronavirus' economic impact. The major averages also reached record highs on Thursday boosted by China's decision to halve tariffs on a slew of U.S. products. The world's second-largest economy announced it would halve tariffs on $75 billion worth of U.S. imports on Thursday.
