Shares of financial services firm Raymond James Financial (NYSE:RJF) fell 3.3% in the afternoon session after the broader market slipped following the release of a jobs report that raised concerns about the health of the U.S. economy. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that employers added only 22,000 jobs in the last month, significantly missing the 75,000 that economists had anticipated. Additionally, the unemployment rate increased to 4.3%, its highest level since 2021. While the weaker-than-expected data strengthens the case for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, it also fueled investor fears of an economic slowdown. The negative sentiment impacted the wider market, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average also trading down during the session, indicating a broad-based sell-off rather than company-specific news.
