Pressure from the U.S. bond market reached a new level on Wall Street after a surprisingly strong report on the economy raised concerns about inflation. This development caused U.S. stocks to decline. The S&P 500 fell 0.8 per cent, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 352 points. The Nasdaq composite sank 1.1 per cent from its all-time high. Simultaneously, oil prices stopped their slide. ## Disagreement on specific figures While most reports agreed on the direction of market movements, specific figures varied. The yield on the 10-year Treasury jumped to 5.10 per cent, according to CTV News, while Hamilton Journal-News reported it as 5.12 per cent. CTV News stated the S&P 500 fell 58.61 points, while Hamilton Journal-News reported a 0.7% slide for the S&P 500. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 352 points as reported by CTV News, but Hamilton Journal-News stated it dropped 299 points. ## What the coverage left out None of the left-rated or centre-rated reports printed below mention the preliminary report's finding that costs for businesses are leaping at the fastest rate in four years, according to Chris Williamson, chief business economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence.
