Shares of pop culture collectibles manufacturer Funko (NASDAQ:FNKO) fell 3.9% in the afternoon session after a broader market downturn triggered by a surprisingly weak August jobs report. The U.S. stock market saw sharp declines as the jobs data reinforced expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut. While stocks initially rose on the prospect of lower borrowing costs, they quickly reversed as investors weighed the implications of an economic slowdown. Funko, as a consumer discretionary company, was affected by this negative sentiment, which saw numerous stocks in the sector decline. The report's indication of cautious hiring trends raises concerns about future consumer spending, which could directly impact companies that rely on non-essential purchases.

The negative sentiment impacted major stocks across the market, including AI-related chip company Nvidia, which dropped 4%. This widespread sell-off suggests that WisdomTree's stock was caught in the larger market currents driven by economic uncertainty rather than company-specific news.

Shares of homebuilder Meritage Homes (NYSE:MTH) jumped 5.6% in the afternoon session after expectations for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut fueled a drop in mortgage rates and Treasury yields, boosting the homebuilding sector. The positive sentiment comes as recent weak labor market reports increased the chances of the Fed cutting its benchmark rate as soon as this month to 95%, according to the swaps market. This speculation sent the 10-year Treasury note yield to a four-month low. Lower Treasury yields typically lead to lower mortgage rates, which makes home financing more affordable for potential buyers and stimulates housing demand.
