Wall Street's main indexes fell on Friday as a sharp slowdown in jobs growth last month gave the strongest signal yet that a post-pandemic economic rebound was losing steam, while banking stocks broadly tracked a jump in bond yields.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 42.09 points, or 0.12%, at the open to 35,401.73. As of this writing, the Dow was down 124 points, or 0.35%.

The S&P 500 opened lower by 4.53 points, or 0.10%, at 4,532.42, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 17.76 points, or 0.12%, to 15,313.42 at the opening bell. (Reporting by Shashank Nayar in Bengaluru; Editing by Arun Koyyur)
