Stocks fell sharply on Friday due to a weaker-than-expected July jobs report, raising recession fears. The S&P 500 dropped 1.84%, the Nasdaq Composite lost 2.43%, and the Dow Jones fell 1.51%. Major tech stocks like Amazon and Intel saw significant losses. The 10-year Treasury yield hit its lowest since December as investors sought safety in bonds.
The Nasdaq entered correction territory, while the S&P 500 and Dow were down 5.7% and 3.9% from their highs. Bank stocks also declined on recession worries. The market volatility follows the Fed's hints of a potential rate cut in September.
