Whiplash Galore!!!

Things popped. Things dropped. Things then really popped?!

The Jobs Report & Housing Data prompted volatility this morning, but the ECB really got things hot & bothered. The European Central Bank decided to raise their rate by 50bps this morning. At first, this seemed be bearish. I mean after all, they did take steps to lessen demand and stated various European banks could be vulnerable in the current economic environment. 

That might sound pretty gnarly upon your first read -- I fully agree. But let's think about it another way. The fact that the ECB felt comfortable with a sizeable rate hike could mean that they believe the current situation isn't that disastrous. To put it another way, their willingness to push down on the economy means they don't think the economy is that bad. 

I have no clue if they are right or wrong, but the bulls in the market are enjoying the decision. I made some smart moves, some dumb moves, and think something exciting is on the horizon (all detailed below).

Record Highs! || Goonie Newsletter
Goonie Newsletter (June 30th - July 4th)

Record Highs!

Hey,

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

  • S&P 500: +3.44%
  • Nasdaq 100: +4.20% 
  • Russel 2000: +3.80%
  • Bitcoin: +3.67%

Last week, markerts surged!!! The S&P 500 pumped up 3.4% to 6,173, the Nasdaq gained 4.2% to 20,273, and the Dow jumped 3.8% to 43,819 — all closing at record highs. The rally was driven by a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, which eased geopolitical tensions and sent oil prices sharply lower. That, combined with growing optimism around Fed rate cuts (two or three expected this year), boosted investor confidence. Tech stocks, especially AI names like Nvidia and Microsoft, led the charge.

On the economic front, WTI crude dropped 13% to $65 a barrel, helping ease inflation worries. May’s core PCE came in at 2.7% — slightly above estimates but still supportive of a potential Fed pivot. Retail sales continued to disappoint, hinting at slowing consumer momentum. The Fed maintained its outlook for two rate cuts this year, with long-term rates expected to settle around 3%.

Looking ahead, the week ahead is packed with key data. Chicago PMI hits on June 30, followed by construction spending, ISM manufacturing, and JOLTS on July 1. ADP employment numbers arrive July 2, and the big one — June’s jobs report — drops July 3. With markets closed on the 4th, expect lighter trading late in the week, though surprises in economic data or global headlines could still move markets. As always, stick to your trading plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.

Best,

Thicc Kohrs
