<h2 id="hwozzaayi">US Overnight</h2><p>The S&amp;P 500 surged 1.18% to 7,440.43, the Nasdaq jumped 2.07% to 25,820.14 — snapping a five-day losing streak — and the Dow rose 306.63 points (+0.59%) to 52,182.74, closing above 52,000 for the first time. The rally was driven by a reassessment of the AI trade after last week's sharp selloff, easing US-Iran tensions as both sides agreed to stop tit-for-tat strikes and resume peace talks Tuesday in Doha, and a Supreme Court ruling that preserved Federal Reserve independence by rejecting the Trump administration's attempt to fire Governor Lisa Cook. Communication services, consumer discretionary, and technology led. Oil edged higher, with Brent at $73 (+1.4%) and WTI above $70. Note: the June jobs report has been moved to Thursday (not Friday) due to the July 4 holiday. Markets close Friday July 3.</p><h3 id="v7qr27lir">Key Movers</h3><p><strong>Tesla (TSLA) +8.5%</strong> — Tesla soared 8.5%, leading the Magnificent Seven higher and posting its best day in weeks. The stock benefited from falling oil prices (lower fuel costs boost EV competitiveness), the Iran de-escalation, and renewed risk appetite for high-beta tech names. Amazon gained 3.2%, Meta rose 2.2%, and Nvidia added 1.3%, snapping its own five-day losing streak.</p><p><strong>Google (GOOG) +5%</strong> — Alphabet climbed nearly 5% on its first day as a Dow component, replacing Verizon. The inclusion reflects Alphabet's evolution from a pure search company to an AI infrastructure powerhouse. The stock snapped a five-day losing streak alongside the broader Nasdaq.</p><p><strong>SpaceX (SPCX) +7%</strong> — SpaceX surged over 7% ahead of its Nasdaq-100 inclusion on July 6. The forced passive buying from index-tracking funds will begin after markets close on July 6, providing a mechanical bid. The stock has rebounded from its post-IPO low of $153 as sentiment around mega-cap tech stabilizes.</p><h2 id="x49i97czk">SGX Preview</h2><p>The STI was near 5,070 recently. DBS is near S$62.18 and UOB near S$37.91. The Dow above 52K and Nasdaq's five-day skid ending provide a constructive backdrop for Singapore markets today. The Supreme Court's preservation of Fed independence is globally significant — it signals the Fed can operate without political interference under Warsh. The chip sector's 4% rebound (SOX), led by Astera Labs +16%, KLA +12%, and Applied Materials +11%, should support Venture Corp. Nike reports tonight after the close.</p><h2 id="pdxtfxfia">Asia Pre-Market</h2><p>S&amp;P 500 futures are roughly flat (+0.1%) as markets digest Monday's strong rebound. Oil is steady near $70-73. The US-Iran agreement to pause attacks and resume talks in Doha Tuesday provides a constructive geopolitical backdrop, though the ceasefire has collapsed and revived multiple times since the MOU was signed on June 17.</p><h2 id="hiyflzty">Today's US Earnings and Economic Calendar</h2><figure class="table"><table><thead><tr><th>Event</th><th>Time (ET)</th><th>Time (UTC+8)</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Consumer Confidence (Jun)</td><td>10:00 AM</td><td>10:00 PM</td></tr><tr><td>JOLTS Job Openings (May)</td><td>10:00 AM</td><td>10:00 PM</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><figure class="table"><table><thead><tr><th>Company</th><th>Timing</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Nike (NKE)</td><td>Post-mkt</td></tr><tr><td>Constellation Brands (STZ)</td><td>Pre-mkt</td></tr></tbody></table></figure><p>Wednesday: ADP Employment + ISM Manufacturing + <strong>Warsh speaks at European forum</strong>. Thursday: <strong>June Nonfarm Payrolls</strong> (moved from Friday). Friday July 3: markets close early.</p><p><strong>Data Spotlight: JOLTS + Consumer Confidence (Tonight)</strong> — Two key reads on the economy's health. April JOLTS showed 7.6 million openings at a near two-year high. If May confirms the labor market remains tight, rate hike odds stay elevated despite falling oil. Consumer Confidence has been depressed by gasoline prices, but Michigan's five-year inflation expectations plunging to 3.3% last week suggests the mood may be turning. Nike's earnings after the close will provide a read on the consumer — its China and North America segments are bellwethers for discretionary spending.</p><h2 id="5wrlybllp">One More Thing</h2><p>The Supreme Court ruling may prove more consequential than any single data point this week. By rejecting Trump's attempt to fire Fed Governor Cook, the court drew a bright line around the Fed's independence — even while expanding presidential authority to fire officials at other agencies. For markets, this means Warsh can make rate decisions based on data, not politics. That distinction matters enormously when the president has publicly demanded rate cuts while inflation is 4.1%. The market's reaction was immediate: stocks rallied, the dollar steadied, and the bond market calmed. Independence is not just a principle. In June 2026, it is a trade.</p><p><i>This briefing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice.</i></p>
