Americans are squirreling away a larger percentage of their earnings than ever before. In the first three months of the year, Americans stashed an average of 14.3% of their income in their 401(k)s, up from 13.5% in 2020, according to Fidelity Investments, which manages millions of accounts. That’s a record, and it also nearly approaches the 15% that’s recommended to be able to maintain your lifestyle after a 40-year career, as per the Wall Street Journal.

Today is the 80th anniversary of D-Day: More than 60 World War II veterans flew to Paris over the weekend to take part in what organizers believe could be the final major WWII commemoration involving living veterans. American veterans will be joined by President Joe Biden and other heads of state in Normandy.

The digital health market has had a tough year, with no IPOs in all of 2023. Comparatively, the industry saw roughly 20 public exits in 2021. The recent slowdown in the broader IPO market is linked to several trends, including high interest rates and some high-profile bankruptcies, according to Adriana Krasniansky, head of research at digital health strategy group and venture fund Rock Health’s advisory arm.

Here’s where the major benchmarks ended:

The S&P 500 index rose 62.69 points (1.2%) to 5,354.03; the Dow Jones Industrial Average^® ($DJI) gained 96.04 points (0.3%) to 38,807.33; the NASDAQ Composite rallied 330.86 points (2.0%) to 17,187.90.
The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) fell more than 5 basis points to 4.283%, its lowest level since April 1.
The CBOE Volatility Index^® (VIX) declined 0.53 to 12.63.

What’s up

Nvidia only rose 5.16% today, but it was enough to surpass Apple’s market cap, making the high-flying semiconductor stock the second most valuable public company in the US.
Crowdstrike rose 11.98% today after reporting better than expected fiscal first quarter earnings yesterday afternoon.
Guidewire Software rose 17.63% today after its beat & raise quarterly report late yesterday.
Stitch Fix rose 29.40% after a red-hot earnings report, completely turning around the stock’s slow slide downward this year.
SweetGreen popped 12.76% this afternoon after revealing that its new automated kitchens can actually save on costs and cut time for orders in the long run.

What’s down

Campbell Soup sagged 0.20% after the company announced earnings. The highlight: While prices are higher on shelves everywhere, the price of Campbell’s products didn’t rise for the first time in three years.
Dollar Tree dropped 4.92% after the company revealed it is likely going to have to spin off Family Dollar, which it bought for $8.5 billion in 2015.
Brown-Forman, maker of Jack Daniels whiskey, slumped 5.34% as alcohol sales continue to decline.

In case you needed more proof that we’re living in the strangest timeline: Morgan Stanley, which owns E*Trade, is contemplating kicking stock influencer Roaring Kitty off the platform. It’s concerned he manipulated GameStop stocks by…posting a meme on X. (the Wall Street Journal)

D-DAY: 80th Anniversary of Operation Overlord

Today is the 80th anniversary of D-Day, and this year’s event is especially poignant: It could be the last major commemoration that involves WWII veterans. People who were 20 years old when Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy France, on June 6th, 1944, are now 100.

Given the gravitas of this year’s anniversary, organizers are giving it a “last hurrah” feel, holding concerts, parachute drops, ceremonies, and parades in what will be the biggest D-Day commemoration in history. Fewer than 200 WWII vets have traveled to France, supported by aides, to take it all in one final time.

President Biden is one of roughly 25 world leaders who will be in Normandy to mark the occasion.

DAILY UPDATE: D-Day, AIDS, Guns, SARS CoV-2, Mpox and the Markets

Posted on June 6, 2023 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

The Normandy landings were the landing operations and associated airborne operations on Tuesday, 6th June 1944 of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. Code-named Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history.

It has also been 42 years since the CDC first reported on AIDS in the US, describing five Los Angeles-area patients with Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia. Today about 1.2 million people in the US live with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, a condition that’s considered chronic but not necessarily fatal. Still, US leaders want to end the HIV epidemic by 2030.

Advocates are calling for gun violence to be considered as an “adverse childhood experience.”

There are high concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 in New York City’s wastewater.

Chicago health officials still recommend exercising caution over Mpox in the year following a major outbreak.

With the drama of earnings season, the debt ceiling battle, and last Friday’s crucial jobs report in the rear-view mirror, Wall Street enters the week seeking new catalysts.

The S&P 500 Index (SPX) starts the week on the cusp of a new bull market. A close of 4,292 or above would represent approximately a 20% gain from the 2022 low close of 3,577 posted last October 12. A 20% gain from the bottom represents a new bull market. That said, the SPX is still down about 11% from its all-time high close of 4,796 posted January 3, 2022.

You may recall a strong rally last summer. But the 17% rally that lasted from mid-June 2022 through mid-August 2022 lifted the SPX just 17%—not enough to put it into bull market territory.

The 10-year Treasury note yield ($TNX) was down slightly to 3.68%. The U.S. Dollar Index ($DXY) is up slightly to 104.29. The Cboe Volatility Index® ($VIX) has been in positive territory all day today and was last seen up by 0.27 to 14.87. WTI Crude Oil (/CL) is up to $73.22 per barrel after Saudi Arabia said it would cut production.

Gold prices have traded in a range of $1,953.80 to $1,978.00 and were last seen trading higher by 0.17% to $1,973.00.

Natural Gas prices have traded in a range of $2.184-2.2301 so far today and were last seen trading higher by $0.077 (or + 3.55%) to $2.249/MMBtu.
