Wall Street slumps to worst day since April on worries about interest rates
==========

Most U.S. stocks slumped on Thursday after strong economic reports raised the possibility of interest rates staying high. The S&P 500 fell 0.7%, the Dow Jones dropped 1.5%, and the Nasdaq slipped 0.4%. Treasury yields rose after reports showed growth in U.S. business activity and a solid job market. The Federal Reserve may wait longer before cutting interest rates, potentially causing a deep recession. Hopes for rate cuts this year have diminished. Stocks of utilities and real-estate companies experienced sharp losses. Live Nation Entertainment tumbled 7.8% after being accused of running an illegal monopoly. VF Corp. fell 2.9% after reporting a loss for the latest quarter. Nvidia's stock surged 9.3% after delivering a strong profit report. The S&P 500 fell 39.17 points to 5,267.84, the Dow dropped 605.78 points to 39,065.26, and the Nasdaq composite fell 65.51 points to 16,736.03. Indexes were mixed in Europe and Asia.
