Wall Street faced heavy selling pressure in its first trading session after former President Jimmy Carter's funeral, as a series of economic developments rattled interest rate and energy markets, sparking heightened <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">risk aversion among investors.</a>
The U.S. economy added 256,000 jobs in December, far exceeding expectations of a slowdown to 160,000. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, defying forecasts that had anticipated it to remain at 4.2%.
This red-hot labor market data spurred traders to recalibrate their interest-rate projections. According to the CME FedWatch Tool, expectations for a rate cut have been postponed even further, with markets now fully pricing in a reduction only by September 2025.
Adding to market turmoil, oil prices — as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>) — surged more than 3% to $76 per barrel after the Biden administration imposed stricter sanctions on Russian oil exports. These measures targeted major Russian oil companies, shadow fleet tankers and opaque trading networks, intensifying pressure on Moscow&#8217;s energy revenues.
Rising interest rate concerns and inflation uncertainty weighed heavily on equities. The latest University of Michigan consumer survey showed five-year inflation expectations rise to 3.3%, the highest since June 2008.
The S&amp;P 500 dropped nearly 2%, hovering around the 5,800-point level, fully erasing gains made since the election. 
Technology and small-cap stocks bore the brunt of the sell-off, with sharper declines across both sectors.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) climbed to 109.70, marking its highest level since November 2022. The greenback is on track to notch its sixth consecutive weekly gain and has risen in 14 of the past 15 weeks, underscoring its dominance as a safe haven amid market turbulence.
Treasury yields climbed further as fixed-income investors braced for the possibility of persistent inflation. The 10-year Treasury yield rose seven basis points to 4.76%, nearing its late October 2023 highs.
The 30-year Treasury yield briefly touched the 5% mark, a level last seen in October 2023 and previously in August 2007.
Gold prices offered a haven for risk-averse investors, climbing 0.9% as geopolitical uncertainties mounted.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) saw some dip-buying activity, up by 1.2%, snapping a three-day losing streak during which it shed 10% of its value.

Microvast Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MVST#NASDAQ">MVST</a>) stock is moving higher on Friday after it announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42896348">a breakthrough</a> in the company&#8217;s True All-Solid-State Battery (ASSB) technology.
The Details: Microvast&#8217;s breakthrough in ASSB technology improves battery safety, energy capacity, and efficiency, which is important for applications such as backup power for data centers and electric school buses.
Microvast explained that traditional batteries can usually operate at voltages of 3.2V to 3.7V per cell due to the limitations of liquid electrolytes. However, the company said its new technology eliminates liquid electrolytes and allows for a single cell to achieve dozens of volts.
&#8220;By developing a technology that eliminates liquid electrolytes and prioritizes scalability, we are well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of industries requiring reliable and safe energy storage solutions,&#8221; said Yang Wu, CEO of Microvast.
The company is advancing to the pilot production phase, where it will address manufacturing challenges to deliver its ASSB technology.

Shares of XTI Aerospace, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XTIA#NASDAQ">XTIA</a>) are trading higher Friday potentially from continued momentum after the company announced a significant<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n42854469/xti-aerospace-updates-shareholders-on-2025-strategy-to-strengthen-leadership-in-aviation-innovatio"> stock offering on Wednesday</a>.
What To Know: XTI is issuing 363,636,364 shares of common stock at 55 cents per share, a substantial discount from its previous trading levels. The offering, which is expected to generate gross proceeds of approximately $20 million, will close on Jan. 10 2025, pending the fulfillment of customary conditions. ThinkEquity is acting as the sole placement agent for the deal.
The company plans to use the proceeds for general working capital and corporate purposes. However, the announcement has triggered a sharp sell-off, as the market reacts to the heavy dilution resulting from the massive increase in the share count. The pricing of the offering, which is well below market value, may have further amplified concerns about shareholder value and the company's financial strategy.

On Friday, Mersana Therapeutics Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRSN#NASDAQ">MRSN</a>) released initial data from the Phase 1 dose escalation and backfill cohorts <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42907652/mersana-therapeutics-announces-positive-initial-clinical-data-from-phase-1-clinical-trial-of-emilt" rel="noreferrer noopener">for emiltatug ledadotin</a>.
Emi-Le was generally well tolerated, with no Grade 4 or 5 treatment-related adverse events reported.
At intermediate doses in the trial (38.1 mg/m2&nbsp;to 67.4 mg/m2), the confirmed objective response rate among evaluable patients was 23% (6 of 26 patients) across all B7-H4 high tumors and 23% (3 of 13 patients) with B7-H4 high TNBC, all of whom had previously been treated with at least one topo-1 ADC.
In the ASCENT Phase 3 trial of sacituzumab govitecan, the ORR with standard-of-care single-agent chemotherapy in relapsed/refractory TNBC was approximately 5%, with progression-free survival of approximately seven weeks.
Based on these encouraging Emi-Le data at intermediate doses, Mersana has advanced a dose of 67.4 mg/m2&nbsp;every four weeks into an expansion cohort in patients with TNBC who have received one to four prior treatment lines.
At high doses above 76 mg/m2, the confirmed ORR among evaluable patients was 22% (2 of 9) across all B7-H4 high tumors.
Additionally, 78% (7 of 9 patients) had ≥30% tumor reduction in target lesions.
At these high dose levels, objective responses in multiple evaluable patients with B7-H4 high tumors were not confirmed after protocol-mandated dose delays for proteinuria.
Mersana is implementing proteinuria mitigation efforts and continues to examine higher doses in dose escalation and backfill cohorts to identify a second dose for the expansion portion of the trial.
Concurrently, the FDA granted an additional Fast Track designation to Mersana Therapeutics&#8217; XMT-1660.
The company also announced that the World Health Organization has approved emiltatug ledadotin (abbreviated as Emi-Le) as XMT-1660&#8217;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/g42907717/mersana-therapeutics-announces-additional-fda-fast-track-designation-granted-to-emiltatug-ledadoti" rel="noreferrer noopener">international nonproprietary name</a>.
The new Fast Track designation is for advanced or metastatic breast cancer in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) low (IHC 1+ or IHC 2+/ISH–) or HER2-negative (IHC 0) disease, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), who have received a prior topoisomerase-1 inhibitor ADC.
Additionally, hormone-receptor positive patients should also have received or be ineligible for endocrine therapy.
Price Action: MRSN stock is down 36.6% at $0.8245 at last check Friday.
