US Equity Investors to Focus on Inflation Data as April Ceasefire Tested Following Iran-Israel Overnight Strikes

US equity investors will focus on the inflation data, a worsening conflict in the Middle East, and the likely public listing of SpaceX this week.* The consumer and wholesale price indexes for May are due Wednesday and the Thursday, respectively, with initial jobless claims likely on the latter. Michigan consumer sentiment preliminary and inflation expectations is due Friday. Existing home sales and ADP employment change are set for Tuesday.* The strength in the CPI is largely coming from energy, with gasoline up roughly 8% on the month, alongside idiosyncratic pressures, Jefferies said in a note Friday. "Overall, the firm print looks somewhat skewed by energy and one-offs, but still keeps the inflation backdrop sticky in the near term."* "Seasonal adjustment factors have been haircutting seasonally unadjusted price changes more so in recent years than previously which could have a dampening effect," a Scotiabank note said Friday.* Israel and Iran exchanged fire that extended into Monday morning, in a resumption of violence that tested President Donald Trump's Middle East ceasefire, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. Trump told The Financial Times that Israel would have to accept any deal the US reaches with Iran, saying "I call all the shots," CNN reported same day.* The overnight exchange will only worsen a "chaotic diplomatic process" with the US, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson was cited as saying in a Reuters news report. Esmaeil Baghaei reportedly added that it would also further exacerbate Tehran's suspicion toward Washington.* SpaceX (SPCX), which likely IPO on June 12, Amazon-backed (AMZN) Anthropic, and Microsoft-backed (MSFT) OpenAI's upcoming public offerings may drag down broader stock markets, Research Affiliates founder Rob Arnott told Bloomberg News on Friday. Index funds will have to trim their current positions to make room for new entrants.* Quarterly earnings due include Oracle (ORCL), Adobe (ADBE), Lennar (LEN), and Trip.com (TCOM).

Nasdaq Suffers Worst Day in More Than a Year; S&P 500 Snaps Winning Weekly Streak

The Nasdaq Composite logged its biggest one-day decline since April 2025 as traders evaluated the official jobs report, while the S&P 500 snapped its winning weekly streak.The technology-heavy Nasdaq plunged 4.2% to 25,709.4 on Friday, the most since April 2025, according to CNBC. The S&P 500 shed 2.6% to 7,383.7, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 1.4% to 50,866.8, after it closed at a record high in the previous session.Tech saw the steepest drop among sectors, shedding 5.8%, while consumer staples paced the gainers.All three major Wall Street indexes posted weekly losses, with the Nasdaq sliding 4.7% and the Dow slipping 0.3%.

"Not only did headline payrolls come in stronger than expected, but revisions to prior months were meaningfully higher and well above six-and-twelve-month averages, suggesting some reacceleration in hiring activity."US Treasury yields were higher, with the 10-year rate last up 6.6 basis points at 4.55%, and the two-year rate soaring 11.9 basis points to 4.17%.Markets widely expect the Federal Reserve to leave interest rates unchanged later this month, but the odds of monetary policy tightening later this year have seemingly increased."Despite the lack of consistent messaging in the labor market data, we now have a rate hike fully priced at the December (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting," James Knightley, chief international economist at ING, said in a note. "That is understandable given the Fed's hawkish pivot and the hot inflation prints of recent months."West Texas Intermediate crude oil was down 2.9% at $90.38 a barrel in Friday late-afternoon trade, while Brent fell 2% to $93.11.Major oil-producing nations belonging to the OPEC+ cartel are expected to agree to continue raising output when they meet on Sunday to decide on July's production quota, analysts told.The cartel is seen lifting July's production quota by another 188,000 barrels per day, DBS Bank's Suvro Sarkar said.Gold was last down 3.7% at $4,338.30 per troy ounce, while silver dropped 8.4% to $67.79 per ounce.

S&P 500 Posts First Weekly Loss Since March as Rate Worries Climb Amid May Jobs Beat

The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 2.6% this week, its first weekly loss since March, as stronger-than-anticipated May payrolls boosted bets that the Federal Reserve will raise rates this year.The S&P 500 ended Friday's session at 7,383.74, breaking a winning streak that had gone on for nine weeks, the market benchmark's longest such run since 2023. The S&P 500 is now up 7.9% this year.The S&P 500 on Tuesday set new intraday and closing highs over 7,600. The gains were erased later in the week after the Labor Department released its May employment data on Friday.The jobs report showed nonfarm payrolls rose by 172,000, well above the 88,000 increase expected in a survey compiled by Bloomberg. April and March payrolls also received upward revisions for a net upward revision of 93,000 jobs. However, the May unemployment rate remained at 4.3%, as expected.The probability of a 25-basis-point increase in interest rates in December rose to 43%, from 36% a week ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool. The comparisons for September were 33% versus 20%. For October, the data showed an increase to 39% from 25%.The consumer discretionary sector had the largest percentage drop of the week, falling 6.2%, followed by a 5.4% loss in technology and a 3.9% slide in communication services. Materials shed 1.2% while utilities edged lower.Ford Motor (F) was hit hardest in consumer discretionary, losing 15%. The automaker reported its total US vehicle sales fell 13.6% year over year in May to 190,828 vehicles. Internal combustion vehicle sales fell 12.3% while hybrid and electric vehicle sales were down 15.7% and 43.9%, respectively, the company said.Also weighing on consumer discretionary, Lululemon Athletica (LULU) shares fell 13%. The athletic apparel retailer forecast fiscal Q2 earnings per share and revenue below analysts' expectations despite its fiscal Q1 results slightly topped Street views. Lululemon Athletica also trimmed its 2026 guidance.In the technology sector, Ciena (CIEN) had the largest percentage drop of the week, falling 16%. The drop came even as the networking systems and software company provided an upbeat fiscal third-quarter revenue outlook and its results topped market estimates.Broadcom (AVGO) also weighed on the technology sector as its stock declined 14%. The chip designer reported fiscal second-quarter results above Wall Street's estimates as its artificial intelligence revenue more than doubled on the back of increased demand for custom accelerators and networking solutions. However, analysts at RBC Capital Markets and UBS said investors were disappointed that the company only reiterated its its 2027 artificial intelligence guidance rather than raising it.On the upside, the energy sector rose 2.5%, followed by a 2.3% gain in health care, a 1.5% rise in real estate and a 1.3% increase in financials. Consumer staples and industrials also edged higher.Marathon Petroleum (MPC) had the largest weekly percentage increase in the energy sector, climbing 5.3%. The company reported it swung to a larger-than-expected Q1 adjusted net profit from a year-earlier loss while revenue also topped expectations.Next week, earnings are expected from companies including Oracle (ORCL) and Adobe (ADBE).Economic data will include the May consumer price index as well as the May producer price index.

US Equity Indexes Plummet as Dwindling Expectations for Monetary Policy Easing Decimate Mega-Cap Technology

US equity indexes plunged amid a slide in mega-cap chip names and government bonds, as a strong jobs report slashed the odds for monetary policy easing this year.The Nasdaq Composite nosedived 4.2% to 25,709.43, with the S&P 500 down 2.6% to 7,383.74, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average lower by 1.4% to 50,866.78 on Friday.Technology sank with consumer discretionary, materials, and communication services. Consumer staples led the gainers.In a third straight month of growth, nonfarm payrolls surged by 172,000 in May, above the 88,000 jobs increase expected in a Bloomberg-compiled survey. April was revised upwards to a 179,000 increase, and March payrolls were revised upwards to a 214,000 increase, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday. The net upward revision came in at 93,000 jobs, bringing the 3-month average of payroll increases to 188,000, the strongest pace since March 2024, according to notes from Morgan Stanley and Stifel."We read this employment report as indicating the Fed can and will remove its easing bias in June," a Morgan Stanley research note said. "Perhaps exaggerated by a surge in state gov't payrolls and in leisure, but unquestionably strong labor demand."The unemployment rate remained at 4.3% in May, per the BLS data, as expected. Hourly earnings rose by 0.3%, as expected, and faster than a 0.2% increase in April."We see the next move as a hike with our baseline timing being in 1Q27," said David Doyle, head of economics at Macquarie. "Risks to this have become skewed to an earlier hiking with markets now discounting a hike in 4Q26."The probability of a 25 basis-point increase in interest rates in December surged to 43%, from 36% a week ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool. The comparisons for September were 34% versus 20%, and, for October, the data showed an increase to 40% from 25%.US Treasury yields soared, with the 10-year up 6.1 basis points to 4.54% and the two-year higher by 10.6 basis points to 4.16%.In precious metals, gold futures dropped 3.3% to $4,356.8, and silver futures slumped 7% to $68.84.A potential peace deal between the US and Iran hinges on US President Donald Trump's administration agreeing to release $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets, Mohsen Rezaei, military adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, told CNN from Tehran, warning that the US would "enter into a dark corridor" should it resume fighting."The negotiations are at a deadlock and Trump must break this deadlock," Rezaei was cited as saying. "The ball is in Trump's court."West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures declined 2.4% to $90.62, and Brent crude futures fell 1.9% to $93.18.In company news, Lululemon Athletica (LULU) shares slumped 9.2%, among the worst performers on the S&P 500, after the company reported a decline in fiscal Q1 earnings and cut its 2026 guidance.Among the top gainers on the index was Cooper Companies (COO), up 7.1%, after the firm reported stronger-than-expected growth in fiscal Q2 adjusted earnings and sales, and lifted its fiscal 2026 outlook for non-GAAP diluted earnings per share.
