The nine-week winning streak for major equity indices ended as AI momentum cooled, oil prices rose, and Treasury yields moved higher after stronger-than-expected labor data. The Nasdaq led declines, falling roughly 4.7%, followed by the Russell 2000 and S&P 500, down 2.9% and 2.6%, respectively, while the DJIA held up best with only a 0.3% decline.

AI optimism faded later in the week as investors reassessed stretched expectations for AI-adjacent companies, which was compounded by an $80B equity raise by GOOGL and strong, but somewhat less than hoped for, AVGO earnings guidance.

Labor market data were largely supportive of a still strong economy as nonfarm payrolls rose 172K in May, well above expectations near 80K, March and April payrolls were revised higher and the unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.3%. ADP private payrolls increased 122K, better than estimated, and April job openings jumped to 7.62M, the highest level in nearly two years. Initial claims rose to 225K, while continuing claims eased to 1.78M.

Business activity remained firm as ISM manufacturing rose to 54.0, the strongest reading in four years, while ISM services improved to 54.5 and new orders strengthened. Price data inside both surveys stayed elevated, with the services prices index reaching its highest level since August 2022 and manufacturing prices still signaling rising input costs. The Fed Beige Book similarly pointed to increased activity in most districts alongside moderate-to-strong price increases.

Treasury yields rose on the stronger economic data with the 10-year rising to 4.55% on Friday from 4.44% the prior week, while the two-year yield rose to 4.15%, with market odds for an October hike rising. Oil rose 3.2% as geopolitical tensions in the Persian Gulf and renewed U.S.-Iran uncertainty kept the supply-risk premium in focus. Gold fell 4.8% and silver declined 9.5% as rate-hike speculation weighed on precious metals. The USD index rallied back near 100 into the weekend as higher yields supported the greenback.

Global unrest in the form of marginally higher oil prices, renewed US tariff concerns, ongoing Middle East military maneuvers and fading technology momentum weighed on investor sentiment resulting in mixed equity prices. The STOXX Europe 600 was down 0.5%, led by Germany's DAX decline of 1.4% while the FTSE 100 was lower by 0.4%. France's CAC 40 rose 0.4%. Final GDP growth estimates for the eurozone showed a contraction of 0.2% in 1Q26, a downward revision from the initial 0.1% growth estimate, led by Ireland's 12.1% decline. Eurozone retail sales fell 0.4% m/m in April, led by nonfood products, while French industrial production edged up 0.1% m/m, a bit better than expected. U.K. new car sales rose 7.1% y/y in May, the strongest May since 2019, as EV demand surged.

Japan was mixed, with the Nikkei 225 up 0.4% while the TOPIX fell 0.2%. BoJ Governor Ueda's comments were interpreted as raising the likelihood of a June rate hike, as he emphasized vigilance toward upside inflation risks even while acknowledging downside risks to activity. Wage data were firmer, with nominal wages up 3.5% y/y and real wages positive for a fourth straight month, while household spending remained weak. The 10-year JGB yield was little changed at 2.66%, and the yen weakened toward JPY 160 versus USD.

China equities declined as the CSI 300 fell 1.5% and the Shanghai Composite declined 1.0%. Official manufacturing PMI eased to 50.0 from 50.3, signaling stalled momentum, while the private RatingDog manufacturing PMI held in expansion at 51.8, pointing to better conditions among smaller and private firms. AI commercialization remained a bright spot, with Tencent testing a WeChat AI agent and DeepSeek reportedly exploring a funding round that could value the company near $52B. The Hang Seng declined 0.9%.

Amgen Inc. (AMGN)

The XLV broke above its 150 dma late last week which has us searching for rebounding healthcare names. AMGN is in a long term uptrend, has broken a near term downtrend and moved above intermediate resistance. We like the setup.

To Infinity, and Beyond…as SpaceX blasts off into public markets this week hoping to raise $75B at an ~$1.75T valuation. Fears of a big capital suck from SpaceX and others orbiting closely behind it (Anthropic, OpenAI, Databricks), in addition to GOOGL's $80B equity raise and META's rumored raise, gave tech investors indigestion last week — as did higher 2-year rates warning of a possible rate hike.

This week's earnings results will largely focus on consumer related names (CPB, MTN, SJM, CASY, CHWY) with the backdrop of the XLY (Cons Disc sector SPDR) and RSPD (Equal Weight Cons Disc) both having broken their 50/150 dma's on Friday. Granted, AMZN remains firmly above its 150dma but MCD, HD, BKNG all signal some level of distress across various consumer sectors despite robust employment data last week, along with positive prior month revisions.

ORCL and ADBE will be the focus for tech investors with ORCL having showed a strong revenue acceleration last quarter that put to rest, somewhat, fears of dependence on OpenAI and a stretched balance sheet. ADBE will hope to dispel the belief that they are a melting ice cube in the face of greater AI capabilities.

Price indices including the CPI and PPI (Wed/Thur) will show accelerating inflation prints as energy and logistics prices spike input costs that are slowly bleeding into finished good prices. April energy costs jumped 18%, the steepest annual increase since Sept. '02, but WTI crude has largely been flat over the past month, suggesting the m/m print will be subdued. PPI prices rose 6% y/y in April and are expected to rise further in May, approaching 7%.

We will also be watching the size of the Fed Balance Sheet on Thursday as new Fed Chair Warsh begins his term with meetings next week.

The Nasdaq led declines, falling roughly 4.7%, followed by the Russell 2000 and S&P 500, down 2.9% and 2.6%, respectively, while the DJIA held up best with only a 0.3% decline.

Fears of a big capital suck from SpaceX and others orbiting closely behind it (Anthropic, OpenAI, Databricks), in addition to GOOGL's $80B equity raise and META's rumored raise, gave tech investors indigestion last week — as did higher 2-year rates warning of a possible rate hike.

This week's earnings results will largely focus on consumer related names (CPB, MTN, SJM, CASY, CHWY) with the backdrop of the XLY (Cons Disc sector SPDR) and RSPD (Equal Weight Cons Disc) both having broken their 50/150 dma's on Friday. Granted, AMZN remains firmly above its 150dma but MCD, HD, BKNG all signal some level of distress across various consumer sectors despite robust employment data last week, along with positive prior month revisions.

ORCL and ADBE will be the focus for tech investors with ORCL having showed a strong revenue acceleration last quarter that put to rest, somewhat, fears of dependence on OpenAI and a stretched balance sheet. ADBE will hope to dispel the belief that they are a melting ice cube in the face of greater AI capabilities.

Price indices including the CPI and PPI (Wed/Thur) will show accelerating inflation prints as energy and logistics prices spike input costs that are slowly bleeding into finished good prices. April energy costs jumped 18%, the steepest annual increase since Sept. '02, but WTI crude has largely been flat over the past month, suggesting the m/m print will be subdued. PPI prices rose 6% y/y in April and are expected to rise further in May, approaching 7%.

We will also be watching the size of the Fed Balance Sheet on Thursday as new Fed Chair Warsh begins his term with meetings next week.
