Market Analysis
On Thursday, U.S. markets closed mixed. The Dow Jones surged 1.14% to a new record close of 52,900.07, while the S&P 500 was nearly flat at 7,483.24 (+0.01 pts). The NASDAQ slid 0.80% to 25,832.67, extending its losing streak to two sessions.
Apple surged 4.84%, leading Dow components, after reports that the company asked suppliers to raise foldable iPhone inventory targets from 7–8 million to ~10 million units, while also pre-booking common components for the premium iPhone 18 lineup. Defensive blue chips also outperformed: McDonald’s +4.16%, J&J +3.57%, Coca-Cola +3.51%, Walmart +2.78%, P&G +2.70%.
Semiconductors fell for a second straight day. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) dropped 4.54% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index declined 5.44%, with all 30 components finishing in the red. Teradyne fell 13.63%, KLA Corp dropped 11.51%, and even NVIDIA — the best performer in the group — slipped 1.39%. The selloff was partly triggered by Tuesday’s Meta news of potential AI compute sales, raising concerns about AI hardware oversupply.
Saxo Bank Chief Investment Strategist Charu Chanana noted the dilemma for tech investors: “If the cost of using AI at scale remains high, some enterprises may slow adoption.” Savvy Wealth CIO Anshul Sharma added: “This may be a rotation out of an overheated AI trade, but I also see signs of reassessment — companies may be growing more sensitive to compute costs.”
U.S. markets are closed Friday for the Independence Day holiday. For the week, the Dow gained 1.97%, S&P 500 rose 1.76%, and NASDAQ advanced 2.12%, partly driven by fading rate-hike expectations. June non-farm payrolls came in at 57,000 — well below the 113,000 consensus and the lowest reading in four months. eToro analyst Bret Kenwell noted: “A disappointing jobs report isn’t good news, but it may ease pressure on the Fed to stay hawkish.” UBS CIO Andrew Dubinsky added: “The labour market is still expanding, just no longer running hot — giving the Fed room to be patient on inflation.”
Key Takeaway: The Dow hit a new record as Apple and defensives surged, but semis fell for a second day on AI oversupply fears. A weak June payrolls report cooled rate-hike odds, lifting blue chips and bonds while keeping pressure on high-multiple tech. The week ended on a broadly positive note, with the rotation from semis to defensives and software intact heading into Q3 earnings season.

Key Events
U.S. June Payrolls Miss Sharply at 57K, Lowest in Four Months
U.S. non-farm payrolls rose just 57,000 in June, well below the 113,000 consensus and the prior month’s 172,000. Private payrolls added 49,000 (est. 107,000). Manufacturing added 3,000, in line with expectations. The miss significantly reduces pressure on the Fed to hike rates in July.

Zuckerberg: AI Agent Development Has Not Accelerated ‘As Expected’

FINANCIALS & INDUSTRIALS
XLF (1D)$54.27▲ 1.22%
XLI (1D)$187.73▲ 1.35%
Key Drivers: Financials (XLF +1.22%) surged as weak payrolls cooled rate-hike fears, lifting bank and insurance stocks. Industrials (XLI +1.35%) outperformed on Dow leadership, with Honeywell and defence names benefiting from the rotation out of semis.
Outlook: Both sectors positioned to benefit if the Fed stays on hold. Watch Q2 bank earnings season as the next key catalyst for XLF.

Institutional Views
Morgan StanleyBULLISH
Fed expected to stay on hold through 2026, with two cuts possible in H1 2027 if inflation falls. Falling energy prices and peaking tariff inflation reduce the case for hikes. Overweight U.S. large-cap; AI infrastructure remains the key earnings catalyst heading into Q3. (Morgan Stanley, July 3, 2026)
Goldman SachsBULLISH
Year-end S&P 500 target 8,000 (raised from 7,600). AI infrastructure accounts for ~50% of 2026 S&P 500 earnings growth. June payrolls miss (57K vs. 113K est.) reduces July hike risk; supports the soft-landing narrative and equities into H2. (Goldman Sachs Research, July 3, 2026)
BlackRockCAUTIOUS
Weak June payrolls (57K) suggest Fed rate-hike odds are overdone; supports a stable dollar rather than a new bull run. Favours selective EM — Latin America positioned to benefit from AI-driven critical minerals demand. Country-specific fundamentals, not broad dollar calls, are key.
