Wall Street slips after surprisingly strong manufacturing data sends yields up

Print | Front Page | Email this story

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks slipped from their record heights after a surprisingly strong report on U.S. manufacturing raised worries about how much interest rates could ease this year.

The S&P 500 fell 0.2% Monday, coming off an all-time high and its latest winning month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.6%, and the Nasdaq composite edged up 0.1%.

Treasury yields climbed after a report said manufacturing unexpectedly returned to growth. That raised concerns about upward pressure on inflation, which could diminish the Federal Reserve's desire to cut interest rates.

Other updates this week could sway that view, including Friday's jobs report.
