Explosive Gains
Hey,
Key Weekly Performance Stats:
- S&P 500: +1.72%
- Nasdaq 100: +1.61%
- Russel 2000: +2.14%
- Bitcoin: +0.85%
Last week, the stock market exploded higher during the shortened trading week. Stocks surged, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hitting fresh record highs multiple times. The Dow wasn’t far behind either—climbing 276 points on Monday and keeping that momentum going. The fuel behind the rally? A wave of optimism around trade deals—especially after Canada scrapped its digital services tax, reopening the door for negotiations with the U.S.
The fireworks weren’t just in the sky this week. On July 3, the June jobs report dropped and brought some heat: the U.S. added 147,000 jobs (beating expectation), and the unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%. But it wasn’t all straightforward. The ADP report told a different story, showing a loss of 33,000 private-sector jobs. Government hiring, especially at the state and local level (up 80,000), helped balance the scales. Even with mixed signals, investors liked what they saw. The bull camp cheered the resilience.
Looking ahead, investors are likely to focus on the July 9 deadline for US tariffs, which could increase rates on imports if no trade deals are secured, potentially causing market volatility. The July Investment Manager Index, expected to provide insights into equity market expectations and sector preferences, will also be closely watched. Additionally, updates on ongoing trade negotiations, especially with Canada, and other economic data releases are anticipated to influence market direction. As always, stick to your trading plan and repest your risk. Godspeed.
