Goodbye May, Hello June
Hey,
Key Weekly Performance Stats:
- S&P 500: +1.88%
- Nasdaq 100: +2.03%
- Russel 2000: +1.19%
- Bitcoin: -3.07%
Last week, despite some choppy sessions, markets ended the week on a high note. After closing for Memorial Day on May 26, the S&P 500 jumped 2.1% on May 27—snapping a four-day losing streak—after President Trump postponed EU tariffs to July 9. Tech and consumer discretionary stocks led the rally. The momentum carried into May 29, thanks to strong earnings from Nvidia, which posted a 69% revenue surge and briefly surpassed Microsoft in market cap. The S&P 500 dipped modestly on May 28 and May 30, with renewed China tariff concerns and earnings anticipation weighing on sentiment. Still, it finished May up 6.2%—its best month since November 2023.
Economic data was quiet early in the week but picked up on May 30. April’s Core PCE rose just 0.1%, with a year-over-year rate of 2.5%, pointing to easing inflation. Personal income beat expectations, up 0.8%, while spending rose 0.2%, in line with forecasts. However, the Chicago PMI fell to 40.5, signaling manufacturing contraction, and consumer sentiment remained weak at 52.2.
Looking ahead, all eyes will be on the May jobs report due June 6, a key gauge of labor market strength. Trade updates with the EU and China, especially after Trump’s tariff delay, will also be in focus. Investors will watch for Fed commentary, including a speech from Fed Chairman Powell, for any signals on rate policy amid mixed inflation and growth data. As always, stick to your trading plan and respect your risk.
Best,
