Why Wall Street Spooks: The Transmission Mechanism
When Nonfarm Payrolls beat consensus by +140k alongside 4.60% wage growth, labor tightness triggers the Fed's Taylor Rule reaction function. Traders immediately reprice front-end rate expectations higher, driving a +23 bps spike in 2Y Treasury yields. Because stock valuations rely on discounted future cash flows, higher risk-free yields directly compress equity valuation multiples—especially across high-duration growth equities.
