Vanguard S&P 500 Growth Index Fund ETF Shares is trading 1.8% down today as a stronger-than-expected May U.S. jobs report pushes investors to price in higher-for-longer Fed policy, weighing heavily on long-duration growth stocks.
- The tech-heavy Nasdaq is down sharply, with the fund's large information technology allocation amplifying the broader risk-off move.
- Semiconductor stocks are sliding following weakness in Broadcom and Micron, further pressuring growth-oriented indices.
- Robust labor data has triggered a rotation out of growth sectors and into more defensive and value-oriented areas of the market.
