The 10-Year US Treasury yield plunged nearly 20 basis points to a 2024 low of 3.80% immediately after the jobs report was released.

However, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari on Thursday became the latest high-profile figure to question whether there will be any rate cuts if inflation remains high.

The S&P 500 lost 0.3%, falling a third day. Renewed fears over more rate hikes from the Federal Reserve were further justified as initial jobless claims came in at 216,000 — lower than the 230,000 anticipated by economists polled by Dow Jones.

☆ Beaten down stocks like Carvana and Bed Bath & Beyond are getting a huge boost as risk appetite returns amid the Fed's acknowledgement of falling inflation
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-02 | by ( Matthew Fox | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Risk-on sentiment returned to the stock market on Thursday after the Fed acknowledged inflation is falling. Beaten down stocks like Carvana and Bed Bath & Beyond soared as interest rates fell in Thursday's session. But the market isn't so sure that it believes the Fed will continue to hike interest rates. While the CME Fed WatchTool suggests a 25 basis point rate hike in March is likely before a pause in rate hikes, Morgan Stanley believes Wednesday's rate hike was the last of this cycle. The drop in interest rates helped spark a significant rally in beaten down stocks on Thursday, with the technology sector leading the way.
