Market Highlights
- S&P 500: Ended its 9-week winning streak with a notable weekly decline.

- Dow Jones: Hit record highs on Thursday but turned bearish by Friday due to selling pressure.
Key Market Drivers and Macro Environment
1. Strong May jobs data sparks rate hike fears The May employment report exceeded expectations, raising the likelihood of a Fed rate hike. Treasury yields rose in response, prompting investors in high-growth tech stocks to increase sell positions to hedge against a higher-rate environment. While the data reflects a healthy economy, the prospect of rate hikes weighed heavily on the market.
2. Rising oil prices and Middle East geopolitical tension Oil prices climbed amid geopolitical concerns linked to threats against the U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement. While oil prices retreated Thursday on optimistic news regarding a potential end to the Iran conflict, they rose again Friday as signals of a worsening situation in the Middle East emerged.
3. Poor earnings from semiconductor firms and tech sell-offs Earnings misses and negative guidance from AI semiconductor companies, including Broadcom, triggered broad selling pressure across the tech sector, leading to the NASDAQ’s significant decline of over 4%.
Expert Outlook
1. Signs of a rate hike cycle beginning The strong jobs data is making the possibility of Fed rate hikes a reality. Investors are coming to terms with the idea that rate cuts are no longer on the immediate horizon, which is expected to impact future economic growth.
2. Concerns over intensifying tech stock volatility Experts suggest that valuation pressure on tech stocks will persist in a high-rate environment. While current selling pressure might be a short-term phenomenon, uncertainty regarding the interest rate path looks set to continue.
3. Need to monitor Middle East geopolitical risk Investors should remain cautious of risks regarding spikes in oil prices due to the instability in U.S.-Iran relations. This could lead to a resurgence in inflation, further intensifying the pressure on the Fed to hike rates.
