Strong job numbers + increasing inflation = overheated economy = goodbye interest rate cuts. In fact, there's a significant chance that rates will go up this year. Perhaps even more than once.
That means cost of borrowing will increase, which is bad for business growth.
It dropped because tech dropped and it still has a lot of tech.
This is why QQQ was down far more than SPY, as QQQ is more tech heavy and will be adding these companies.
