Wall Street experienced a sharp decline on January 13, 2025, with all major indexes closing in the red amid fears of slower rate cuts by the central bank following strong job growth data. The Dow Jones fell 1.6%, the Nasdaq Composite lost 1.6%, and the S&P 500 dropped 1.5%. The labor market's resilience, highlighted by a 256,000 increase in nonfarm payrolls for December, raised concerns about a hawkish Fed response, leading to a second consecutive week of losses for the major indexes.
