Stocks Fall, Yields Jump on Jobs Beat, Senate Immigration Vote

U.S. stocks fell and yields jumped after a jobs blowout, signaling stronger-than-expected labor-market data and renewed pressure on rate expectations. The Senate also passed immigration funds, adding a domestic policy angle, but the market focus is clearly on the macro surprise and higher-rate backdrop. The combination is risk-off for equities and supportive for Treasury yields in the near term.
