Wall Street's worst day of 2026: Nasdaq -4.1%, chip stocks lose ~$1tn after hot May jobs report flips Fed-hike odds

US equities suffered their worst session of 2026 on Friday, June 5, after a far-stronger-than-expected May jobs report pushed traders to price interest-rate hikes rather than cuts. The economy added 172,000 jobs versus consensus near 80,000-88,000, with unemployment steady around 4.3%. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled about 4.1% (or 4.18%), its worst day since April 2025; the S&P 5

Global bond rout resumes: US 10Y back above 4.5%, 30Y tops 5%, UK gilts ~4.9%, France 10Y OAT clears 3.80% at June 4 auction

Sovereign-bond yields backed up sharply across the developed world in early June 2026 as the energy-driven inflation shock and a blowout US jobs report (May payrolls +172,000) pushed central-bank pricing from cuts toward holds and hikes. After a brief mid-window respite when oil eased, the May 29-June 5 stretch saw renewed selling: on June 3, with WTI closing up 2.41% at $96.02
