S&P 500 Slips; ADP Data Points to Softer Jobs Market -- WSJ

Stocks were broadly weaker Tuesday, with tech shares among notable decliners, as investors weighed signs of labor-market weakness and a likely end to the government shutdown.

The Dow industrials inched up, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite retreated. The dollar weakened, while silver and gold extended gains. U.S. bond markets were shut for Veterans Day.

Late Monday, the Senate passed a spending package to end the stoppage. The bill now moves to the House for a final vote as soon as Wednesday and then to President Trump's desk.

The reopening is likely to unleash a barrage of delayed data, with the September jobs report likely to be among the first to be published.

In the absence of official reports, investors have scrutinized alternative gauges such a report Tuesday from ADP. That report indicated the private sector on average lost more than 11,000 jobs a week in the four weeks through Oct. 25.

Separately, Goldman Sachs has estimated deferred government resignations could help trigger a 50,000-job drop in total nonfarm payrolls for October.

In recent trading:

CoreWeave shares slid despite quarterly revenue more than doubling at the AI data-center operator.

European stocks rallied, with the Stoxx Europe 600 gaining about 1%.

Switzerland's currency and luxury stocks rose after President Trump said he was considering cutting tariffs on the country.
