The latest ADP National Employment Report showed private employers added 22,000 jobs in January 2026, well below the 48,000 economists expected.
ADP also re benchmarked its historical series, cutting its estimate of 2025 private job growth to 398,000 from 771,000 previously reported.

AMD sank around 16% on a weaker outlook with the decline spilling over to the rest of the chip space, with losses in Broadcom, Micron, and Applied Materials.
