U.S. stocks pulled back on Thursday after a key inflation report showed a faster-than-expected rise in prices and boosted the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield above a key level.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 1.2%, while the S&P 500 dipped 0.7%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 150 points, or 0.5%.

Thursday’s consumer price index report showed a year-over-year rise of 7.5%, hotter than expected and the largest gain since 1982.

Investors were focused on the report as a clue to how aggressive the Federal Reserve will be to curb inflation. The 10-year Treasury yield jumped to 2% after the report, after being at 1.51% at the end of December.

“With another surprise jump in inflation in January, markets continue to be concerned about an aggressive Fed. While things may start getting better from here, market anxiety about potential Fed overtightening won’t go away until there are clear signs inflation is coming under control,” said Barry Gilbert, asset allocation strategist for LPL Financial.

Big Tech stocks moved lower after the report, with shares of Apple and Amazon shedding more than 1% and Microsoft dropping 2.3%. E-commerce stock Shopify fell 3%. Higher interest rates tend to put pressure on tech and other growth stocks as they make future earnings less attractive to investors.

“”A 2% rate for the 10-year Treasury note yield, coupled importantly with higher than forecast inflation and consequently more aggressive Fed tightening cycle, is negative for equity prices overall and especially debt-dependent companies like technology,” said Kathy Bostjancic, chief U.S. financial market economist at Oxford Economics. “The key offset would be that economic growth and earnings for now are healthy. However, a more aggressive Fed could slow growth more than desired.”

Bank stocks, however, moved higher as they are more likely to benefit from higher interest rates. Citigroup and Wells Fargo each added 1% in morning trading.

A solid batch of earnings reports helped to limit the losses for the market on Thursday.

Shares of Dow 30 component Disney jumped nearly 6% after the company reported a quarterly earnings beat and a doubling of revenue from its parks, experiences and consumer products division. Uber gained 4% after reporting a revenue beat and a bounce back from omicron-induced challenges.

Coca-Cola shares were up nearly 1% after the soft drink giant reported earnings and revenue that beat Wall Street estimates.

Expedia, Affirm and Zillow will report earnings after the closing bell.

In other economic news, weekly jobless claims came in at 223,000, slightly below expectations.

Thursday’s trading moves follow a broad rally on Wednesday. The Nasdaq rose for a second straight day, gaining 2%.
