Update 16/06/2026
— Stocks had a relatively sleepy session on the heels of Monday's rally, with the DJIA (+0.6%) furthering its push into record territory as oil prices continued to fall, while the S&P 500 (-0.6%) and Nasdaq Composite (-1.2%) faced pressure amid a pullback across tech names. —The information technology sector (-2.3%) finished with the widest loss by a considerable margin after posting a 3.4% gain in the previous session. Semiconductor stocks in particular faced some profit-taking, with the PHLX Semiconductor Index (-5.7%) giving back all of yesterday's gains as stocks such as Lumentum (LITE 875.36, -81.88, -8.55%) and Monolithic Power (MPWR 1496.52, -155.77, -9.43%) were among the worst-performing S&P 500 components.—NVIDIA (NVDA 207.42, -5.03, -2.37%) was a "magnificent seven" laggard amid a mostly lower showing across the group, helping drive the Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF 1.1% lower. —For much of the session, it appeared that relative weakness across the mega-cap cohort would have little effect on SpaceX (SPCX 202.09, +9.59, +4.98%). After surrendering most of an early advance during the afternoon, the stock found renewed buying interest into the close and extended its powerful post-IPO run.—As tech charted a lower course, the broader market saw some rotational interest that helped soften the tech-inflicted blow on the major averages. Strength in the broader market was once again supported by a retreat in oil prices, as investors remained optimistic that Friday's planned signing of the U.S.-Iran peace agreement will result in a lasting resolution and help keep energy prices contained. Crude oil futures settled today's session $4.84 lower (-6.0%) at $76.06 per barrel, and the energy sector (-0.4%) was the only other S&P 500 sector to finish with a loss wider than 0.1%. —Meanwhile, seven S&P 500 sectors posted gains, led by the financials sector (+1.5%) as falling oil prices eased growth concerns and supported bank stocks. JPMorgan Chase (JPM 331.14, +11.74, +3.68%) was the best-performing Dow component after Bloomberg reported that L3Harris (LHX 310.45, +6.28, +2.06%) selected JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley (MS 220.83, +2.85, +1.31%) to lead a potential $2 billion IPO of its missile unit, Axyv.—Other cyclical sectors were also among today's outperformers. The majority of stocks in the industrials sector (+0.7%) traded higher, while the materials sector (+0.5%) was supported by another solid showing from construction material names as Treasury yields continued to move lower. —Outside of the S&P 500, the Russell 2000 (-0.9%) and S&P Mid Cap 400 (-0.3%) finished lower.—Corporate news flow was on the lighter side again today, though there were a few notable stock-specific moves. Moderna (MRNA 55.39, +3.26, +6.25%) surged in reaction to upbeat pipeline and commercialization updates, while CoreWeave (CRWV 117.03, +10.32, +9.67%) finished with an even wider gain after the company said it delivered the fastest DeepSeek-V3 671B training performance in the benchmark. —Altogether, today's session reflected a pause in the recent technology-led advance rather than a meaningful deterioration in sentiment. Profit-taking across semiconductor and mega-cap names weighed on the major averages, but continued weakness in oil prices helped support rotation into other areas of the market and kept the broader tone constructive. —Attention now turns to tomorrow's FOMC meeting, where the Fed is widely expected to leave rates unchanged, though investors will be closely monitoring the first meeting under Fed Chair Warsh for clues about the policy outlook and how the Committee views the recent improvement in inflation and energy prices.—U.S. Treasuries continued their upbeat start to the week, sending the 30-year yield to its lowest close since late April while yields on the 5 and 10 year note yields recorded their lowest settlements since mid-May as the market remained optimistic that geopolitical tensions with Iran will become a distant memory soon. The Treasury complex climbed past its early highs in mid-morning action, staying near their best levels after the U.S. Treasury sold $22 billion in 20-year bonds to strong demand. The 2-year note yield settled down two basis points to 4.05%, and the 10-year note yield settled down four basis points to 4.43%.

Update 09/06/2026
— The stock market faced a significant amount of volatility today, with stocks opening to broad strength before a sharp reversal across tech names sent the major averages sharply lower. The S&P 500 (-0.3%), Nasdaq Composite (-1.0%), and DJIA (+0.2%) finished mostly lower, though strength in the broader market helped the indices finish well off their midday lows. —The information technology sector (-1.8%) was at the core of the intraday retreat, finishing as the worst-performing S&P 500 sector. Early weakness across software names limited gains in the sector, but a continuation of yesterday's buying across semiconductor stocks saw the sector advance nearly 1% this morning. —The PHLX Semiconductor Index (-1.9%) was up nearly 2% before charting a sharply lower course that rippled across the broader market. Around midday, the index was down nearly 8%. Most semiconductor and related names reclaimed some of the weakness, but Coherent (COHR 355.94, -45.99, -11.44%) finished as the worst-performing S&P 500 component, while electrical component names such as Corning (GLW 173.94, -13.60, -7.25%) and Lumentum (LITE 821.76, -73.64, -8.22%) also finished near their session lows.—Elsewhere in the sector, Apple (AAPL 290.55, -10.99, -3.64%) extended yesterday's decline as investors remained underwhelmed by the company's AI announcements at WWDC, including updates to Siri and other artificial intelligence features. —Notably, today's reversal across the tech and mega-cap spaces came without a news catalyst, which likely explains the willingness of investors to steadily buy back into those same stocks throughout the afternoon. The Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF (-1.1%) finished firmly lower, but significantly improved from the session lows that left it with a nearly 4% loss.—Strength at the sector level also steadily improved throughout the afternoon, returning to pre-midday levels. The energy sector (-1.6%) was the only other S&P 500 sector to finish with a loss as relatively tame developments on the geopolitical front kept oil prices lower, with crude oil futures settling today's session $3.10 lower (-3.4%) at $88.16 per barrel. —The lower oil prices added support for the broader market, with several cyclical sectors, including the materials (+1.7%), industrials (+1.2%), and financials (+0.9%) sectors, weathering the intraday volatility to notch solid gains. —Even the consumer discretionary sector (+0.1%), which was weighed down by weakness in Tesla (TSLA 396.68, -12.27, -3.00%), managed to finish slightly higher, supported by strength in its homebuilder components that sent the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF 4.0% higher. —Additionally, there was a solid rotation into more defensive sectors, with the health care (+1.3%), utilities (+1.1%), and consumer staples (+1.0%) sectors all posting solid gains. J.M. Smucker (SJM 112.39, +10.62, +10.44%) was the top-performing S&P 500 name after topping EPS expectations and issuing upside guidance.—The real estate sector (+2.1%) captured the widest gain, building on its Q2 strength as investors continue to rotate into lower-volatility, income-oriented areas of the market.—As a result, the S&P 500 Equal Weighted Index (+0.8%) finished with a solid gain despite the retreat in the market-weighted S&P 500 (-0.3%).—Outside of the S&P 500, the Russell 2000 (+0.4%) and S&P Mid Cap 400 (+0.9%) outperformed. —Overall, today's session underscored the volatility that continues to characterize semiconductor and other AI-related names, though the rebound from session lows also reflected a sustained eagerness to buy dips across growth-oriented stocks. At the same time, the broader market remained notably resilient, with strength spanning cyclical, defensive, and income-oriented sectors alike. The divergence between the equal-weighted and market-weighted S&P 500 suggests that participation beneath the surface remains constructive, even as leadership among the market's largest technology names becomes increasingly volatile ahead of SpaceX's IPO on Friday.—U.S. Treasuries had a steady showing on Tuesday, keeping yields in a narrow range just below their highest levels in three weeks, which masked a volatile session on Wall Street. The U.S. Treasury launched this week's note and bond auction slate with a 3-year note auction, which was received relatively well given the overall volatility across capital markets.—The 2-year note yield settled down four basis points to 4.12%, and the 10-year note yield settled down two basis points to 4.53%.

—Reviewing today's data:
May NFIB Small Business Optimism 95.3; Prior 95.9
April Trade Balance -$55.9 bln (Briefing.com consensus -$55.5 bln); Prior was revised to -$56.6 bln from -$60.3 bln
The key takeaway from the report is that the export strength was concentrated in crude oil exports (+$6.4 billion), fuel oil exports (+$1.3 billion), and other petroleum products (+$1.0 billion), which were boosted by the supply disruptions tied to the difficulties traversing the Strait of Hormuz.
May Existing Home Sales 4.17 mln (Briefing.com consensus 4.07 mln); Prior was revised to 4.04 mln from 4.02 mln
The key takeaway from the report is that existing home sales hit their highest level since December, bolstered by lower mortgage rates (versus the year-ago period) and income gains outpacing home price growth, which led to improving affordability conditions across all regions.
April Wholesale Inventories 0.6% (Briefing.com consensus 0.5%); Prior 1.3%
