US market summary

Tech rout triggers sharp reversal for major indexes

U.S. equity markets experienced a volatile end to the first week of June 2026, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq plunging over 4% in its worst session since 2025. This downturn was primarily driven by a massive sell-off in the semiconductor sector, where major players like Marvell Technology and Micron saw double-digit losses due to fears of a demand cliff. While the S&P 500 and Dow Jones had previously reached record highs earlier in the week, they closed lower as investors rotated into defensive safe havens.

Strong labor data fuels expectations of further rate hikes

May employment reports revealed the U.S. economy added 172,000 positions, significantly exceeding analyst forecasts and signaling continued economic resilience. This unexpected strength has shifted market sentiment, with traders now pricing in a full interest rate hike before the end of 2026 rather than the previously anticipated cuts. The Federal Reserve is expected to maintain current rates at its June 17 meeting while closely monitoring sticky inflation and rising business input costs.

Treasury yields climb toward 20-year highs

Government bond yields continued their upward trajectory, with the 10-year Treasury note closing at 4.55% and the 30-year bond topping 5% in early June. Analysts attribute the rising rates to persistent inflation pressures and a high volume of Treasury issuance, leading to an upward-sloping yield curve across most maturities. Investors are currently favoring short- to intermediate-term bonds to mitigate risks associated with elevated long-term borrowing costs.

Corporate earnings projections remain robust despite volatility

Despite recent market churn, corporate profit outlooks for 2026 remain a primary driver for equity resilience with full-year S&P 500 earnings growth projected at 22-25%. First-quarter results showed substantial year-over-year gains, particularly in technology and communication services, which have helped maintain a bullish long-term case for stocks. Analysts have recently raised year-end targets for the S&P 500 to as high as 8,000, supported by these strong fundamental expectations.
