Wall Street finished lower on Friday, led down by financial shares, after a surprisingly weak jobs report prompted doubts about the US economy and its ability to sustain a near-term interest rate hike. The US economy created the fewest number of jobs in more than 5-1/2-years in May as manufacturing and construction employment fell sharply.
Nonfarm payrolls increased by only 38,000 jobs last month, well below economists' forecast for an increase of 164,000. Traders significantly cut bets that the Federal Reserve will raise rates at its meetings in June and July.
Such sentiment was reflected in the weakness in the financial sector, which is seen as benefiting in a rising rate environment.
The group dropped 1.38 percent, its worst fall in about two months, with declines in shares of Bank of America and Citigroup. Utilities, a high- dividend -paying group whose appeal declines when rates go up, rose 1.66 percent.
