Caution prevailed on Wall Street ahead of Jerome Powell’s speech, with stocks falling and bond yields rising as a key factory report raised concern that inflation pressures could dim the outlook for rate cuts.

The fastest growth in manufacturing since 2022 drove Treasuries lower, with 10-year yields up four basis points to 4.33%. Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland chief Beth Hammack said she wouldn’t support easing if officials had to decide tomorrow. The S&P 500 slipped for a fifth straight day, its longest slide since January. Most big techs slid. Walmart Inc. tumbled on a profit miss.

While data showed an increase in jobless claims — adding to signs of a slowing labor market — the solid factory purchasing managers index saw traders reducing their bets on rate cuts. Money markets showed a roughly 70% chance of a reduction in September. A week ago the odds were above 90%.
