Wall Street mixed as strong January jobs data raised fears of delayed Fed rate cuts.

Wall Street ended mixed on February 11, 2026, as stronger-than-expected January jobs data raised concerns the Federal Reserve may delay interest-rate cuts. The Nasdaq and Dow dipped slightly, while the S&P 500 held flat after early gains, following a report showing robust job growth and the unemployment rate falling to 4.3%. Traders revised down expectations for a June rate cut, with the chance of a hold rising to 41%, according to CME Group’s FedWatch tool, though a cut later in the year remains anticipated. Investors are reassessing economic signals amid shifting monetary policy expectations.
