  • Stocks: The S&P 500 touched 6,000 points for the first time since February and wrapped up its fifth positive week in the past seven following a better-than-expected jobs report. The vibes got even better in the afternoon following a President Trump announcement that the US and China trade teams will meet in London on Monday. STOCKS: https://medicalexecutivepost.com/2025/04/18/stocks-basic-definitions/
  • Bonds: Treasury yields ticked up in response to the solid May jobs report, a sign that investors were reducing bets on the scale of rate cuts this year. That’s not what Trump wants to hear: He urged Fed Chair Jerome Powell to slash interest rates by a jumbo-sized full point to pour “rocket fuel” on the economy. REVENUE BONDS: https://medicalexecutivepost.com/2024/12/20/bonds-revenue/
  • Oil: Oil prices have gone sideways for three straight weeks now, trading within a $4 range around $65/barrel since the middle of May. We’ll let you know when something interesting happens. CRUDE OIL: https://medicalexecutivepost.com/2024/08/14/wti-crude-oil/

EMPLOYMENT: Growing Slowly

BREAKING NEWS

Job growth is slowing, but still bigger than expected

US employers added 139,000 jobs last month, government data released yesterday shows—that’s less than the down-wardly revised 147,000 new jobs that were added in April, but more than economists had predicted. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate held steady.

MAY: https://medicalexecutivepost.com/2025/06/06/may-jobs-report/

Overall, the highly anticipated jobs report reflects employers growing more cautious in the face of the economic uncertainty brought on by the trade war, but so far, there doesn’t seem to be a steep drop off in the labor market. That could give the Fed reason to stay in wait-and-see mode on interest rates, though President Trump still used the occasion to urge Jerome Powell to cut rates “a full point” on Truth Social.

🟢 What’s up

  • Circle Internet Group, the stablecoin issuer, followed up its epic IPO day on Thursday with another banger, soaring 29.80%.
  • Coreweave closed out a roller coaster week with a 3.78% gain. The recently public AI cloud computing company is up 158% in the past month, and its tie-up with Applied Digital boosted that stock by another 8.54% today.
  • Rocket Lab (+9.34%) was one of several SpaceX competitors to receive a small boost following Elon Musk’s blowup with President Trump, which could threaten SpaceX’s contracts with the government.
  • Omada continued the strong run of recent IPOs. The virtual chronic care company jumped 21.05% in its debut on the Nasdaq today.

What’s down

  • Lululemon plunged 19.80% after cutting its full-year guidance due to the “dynamic macroenvironment” (CEO-speak for tariff uncertainty and people opting for baggier clothes than yoga pants). The company said it will increase prices on some items to offset the tariffs.
  • Docusign tanked 18.97% after warning that its billings for the year would come in lower than estimates as it transitions to an AI-driven model.
  • Broadcom failed to live up to exceedingly lofty expectations for its Q3 revenue forecast, causing shares of the giant semiconductor supplier to dip 5%.
