NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks slipped and Treasury yields rose sharply after the government released a jobs report whose headline numbers came in hotter than expected.

NEW YORK — Stocks slipped and Treasury yields rose sharply after the government released a jobs report whose headline numbers came in hotter than expected. Overall, the report suggests markets may have to wait even longer for interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 ended 0.1% lower Friday after giving up a midday gain. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.2% and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.2%.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 40 points, or 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.1% as of 2:58 p.m. Eastern.U.S. employers added 272,000 jobs in May, up from April and greater than economists expected. The report also showed the unemployment rate rising for a second straight month. Overall, it signals continued strength in the jobs market, with some minor signs of weakening.

“To those who are worried about inflation, especially the Federal Reserve, the report should raise concerns that wage pressure and sticky inflation is more likely to persist than be transitory,” said Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer for Independent Advisor Alliance. Updates next week on prices at the wholesale and consumer levels will be closely watched by both investors and the Fed to get a clearer view of inflation's path.
