Stocks fell sharply surrendering all of the gains from a post-jobs report rally ahead of the Labor Day holiday weekend. The S&P 500 shed 1.1%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by the same margin, or about 340 points. The tech-heavy NASDAQ logged the biggest slide of the major averages, capping the session down 1.3%.
The losses came after a rally earlier in the day suggested some investor optimism that a more modest 0.50% interest rate hike could be coming from the Fed later this month after the August jobs report showed job growth moderated last month, as expected.
