Story of the Week#

A blowout US May jobs report fundamentally rewrote the macroeconomic narrative, demolishing hopes for imminent rate cuts and driving traders to fully price in a Federal Reserve rate hike by year-end. The sudden hawkish repricing sent tech stocks and Treasuries reeling, disrupting a massive, AI-fueled liquidity frenzy that had been defined by Alphabet’s historic $84.75 billion equity raise and SpaceX’s unprecedented $75 billion initial public offering.

Lead Story#

The US economy added a staggering 172,000 jobs in May, crushing forecasts and dramatically altering the trajectory of Federal Reserve policy. The blowout payrolls report—which held the unemployment rate steady at 4.3%—demolished the case for imminent rate cuts, driving traders to fully price in a rate hike by year-end and sparking a broad selloff across tech stocks and Treasuries.

Lead Story#

In a pivotal shift for the US economy, June hiring slowed sharply with nonfarm payrolls increasing by just 57,000, curbing the job market’s recent momentum despite a drop in the unemployment rate. The softer-than-expected data immediately rippled through financial markets, prompting a Treasury rally and driving equity traders to dial back bets that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in the coming months. The employment cooldown aligns with recent dovish remarks from Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh on easing inflation, cementing expectations that the central bank will remain patient on monetary policy.

Story of the Week#

The volatile ceasefire between the US and Iran dominated global markets, with early-week tit-for-tat military strikes in the Strait of Hormuz giving way to a renewed truce and indirect peace talks in Qatar. The safe passage of commercial shipping lanes prompted a massive unwinding of the war-driven energy shock, driving global oil prices sharply lower and prompting Citigroup to forecast crude could slump to $60 a barrel by year-end.
