KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA - Wall Street fell on Friday as rate-sensitive technology and growth stocks dropped after hotter-than-expected producer prices data for July sent U.S. bond yields higher.

U.S. producer price index (PPI) climbed 0.8% in the 12 months leading to July, up from a 0.2% rise in the previous month, as service costs increased. Economists polled by Refinitiv had expected a 0.7% gain.
