Summary
By 11 a.m. ET, the Nasdaq had fallen 176 points and the S&P 500 lost 16, while the Dow rose 132 as an early rally faded.
Tech led the retreat: the S&P tech index fell nearly 1.7%, the Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index dropped 2%, and Intel, Broadcom and Micron each lost 1.7% to 2%.
Friday's strong U.S. jobs report sharpened rate worries, with traders now pricing a 43% chance of a 25-basis-point Fed hike in December.
Wednesday's May CPI report is the next test, as investors gauge whether Iran-war-driven energy costs are feeding inflation.
SpaceX's planned Friday debut — seeking $75 billion at a $1.75 trillion valuation — is adding caution as funds may need to free up cash for the record IPO.
