US EditionWall Street Sets More Records, but Bond Yields Drop Following Discouraging Data on the Job Market
Wall Street indexes hit new records as bond yields fall following weak private job data and delays in government economic reports due to the U.S. shutdown.
- On October 1, 2025, the U.S. government shut down just after midnight, delaying Labor Department operations while Wall Street investors largely shrugged as stocks drifted near records and bond yields sank.
- ADP Research's report showed weak private hiring as payrolls contracted for a second month and employers outside the government cut 32,000 jobs.
- In the bond market, the 10-year Treasury yield dipped to 4.09%, falling to about 4.11% as the Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq composite, and S&P 500 all posted gains.
- With key reports delayed, investors face greater uncertainty as postponing Friday's Labor Department nonfarm payrolls report removes routine signals and may make markets more twitchy.
- Futures markets now price near a 90% chance of two Federal Reserve cuts this year, while AI and chip rallies including CoreWeave’s $14.2 billion Meta Platforms order and the $500 billion Stargate project drive records.
