U.S. stocks closed out their ugly April with even more losses, cementing the market’s worst month since September.

The S&P 500 fell 1.6% Tuesday to pull it further from its record set at the end of March. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 1.5%, and the Nasdaq composite sank 2%.

Treasury yields rose again to up the pressure on stocks after a report showed workers won bigger gains in pay and benefits during the start of the year than expected. Such hotter-than-expected data has diminished traders’ expectations for how many times the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates this year.

On Tuesday:

The S&P 500 fell 80.48 points, or 1.6%, to 5,035.69.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 570.17 points, or 1.5%, to 37,815.92.

The Nasdaq composite fell 325.26 points, or 2%, to 15,657.82.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 42.12 points, or 2.1%, to 1,973.91.
