Markets Pull Back Aggressively Into CPI Week — What's next + Free Trade Idea
Hey Traders,
Markets pulled back this week as stronger-than-expected economic data raised concerns that interest rates may remain elevated for longer. The S&P 500 closed at 7,383.74, down 2.6% and ending its nine-week winning streak, while QQQ finished at $705.06, falling 4.8% as AI and semiconductor names led the downside.
May’s jobs report came in above expectations, pushing Treasury yields higher and driving a rotation out of growth stocks into more defensive areas of the market.
⚠️ What I’m Watching This Week
All eyes are on inflation data with CPI on Wednesday and PPI on Thursday, both key inputs for Fed policy expectations. We also get Oracle earnings Thursday (6/10) after the close, which could be an important read-through for enterprise demand and AI-related spending.
