📈 Weekly Market Update (Week of June 8 )
Macro recap:
Markets navigated a volatile week, with inflation data, semiconductor swings, geopolitical developments, and the highly anticipated SpaceX IPO all in focus. Despite the noise, easing oil prices and improving market breadth helped support gains, with the S&P 500 (+0.7%), Nasdaq (+0.7%), and DJIA (+0.7%) all finishing higher. Inflation data showed modest improvement but reinforced expectations that the Fed will remain patient.
Sectors & stocks:
Technology remained central, though leadership was choppy. Semiconductor stocks saw sharp selloffs early in the week followed by strong rebounds, while software lagged. Energy slipped alongside a roughly 7% drop in oil, which supported airlines, homebuilders, financials, and other cyclical sectors. The SpaceX IPO surged in its debut, highlighting continued investor appetite for growth-oriented names.
Overall: Broadening participation was the standout, with small and mid-cap stocks leading and investors rotating beyond mega-cap tech. Falling oil and steady dip-buying helped keep the market on solid footing despite ongoing macro and geopolitical uncertainty.
