The 3 U.S. indices (SPX, DJI, IXIC) rallied on Monday fuelled by the weekend news of a peace deal, which lowered the oil prices, and a continuation of the post-IPO momentum of SpaceX. The lower oil prices reduce the fear of global inflation, economic downturns & higher interest rates - the 3 things that equities investors hate. The good news reignited the risk-on mode, sparking a broad rally for the tech stocks. $NVIDIA(NVDA.US)itself regained strength and ended 3.5% higher.

The current weakness in the US stock market, extending the sell-off on June 10, is caused by:
1. Strong Economic Data Revives "Higher for Longer" Fed Worries
Trigger is the May Nonfarm Payroll report revealing the U.S. economy added 172,000 jobs, ~2x the estimate plus an upward revisions for the prior 2 months. This robust labor market data signals economic resilience raised concerns that Fed need to maintain restrictive monetary policy, or even hike rates, to combat persistent inflation. Following the report, market expectations for at least 1 rate hike in 2026 rose significantly. This is a headwind for growth-oriented sectors like technology.
2. Semicon & AI-Led Tech Sector Rout
The market weakness is heavily concentrated in the tech sector, particularly semicon and AI-related stocks. This sell-off accelerated due to:
- Sector-Wide Contagion: Disappointing guidance from key players sparked a broad sell-off. E.g, $Broadcom(AVGO.US) fell sharply after its CEO didn't raise the full-year AI revenue target, which investors interpreted as weak visibility.
- Profit-Taking & Valuation Resets: After a parabolic rally, stocks like $Micron Tech(MU.US) faced intense selling pressure as they approached key technical resistance levels, leading to significant pullbacks.
3. Geopolitical Tensions & Inflation Concerns
- Iran Conflict & Oil Prices: Hopes for a peace deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz have repeatedly faded, keeping oil prices volatile & high. Trump's statement on Jun 10 on the downing of a "highly sophisticated" Apache helicopter by Iran & vowing a response renewed fears, partially reversing earlier oil price drops. The elevated energy prices further fuel inflation worries.
- Sticky Inflation Data: The May U.S. CPI came in at expected 4.2% Y-o-Y maintaining pressure on the Fed. Analysts were divided on the inflation outlook ahead of the release, indicating high market sensitivity.

Dow record, Nasdaq red, finance feed screaming ROTATE. meanwhile I am holding my index fund doing absolutely nothing 💤 rotation is a trader's game, not mine
- J
honest question, are you actually rotating or just talking about it? I am tempted to trim some tech winners into financials and dividend names but every time I sell growth early I regret it 🙋 what is your trigger to actually switch?

market hit a record and somehow it still feels like something is breaking under the hood 😏

Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan said inflation is not yet moving back toward the 2% target and signaled that another rate increase could be warranted this year. The Fed's Beige Book reinforced the message, noting that Middle East conflict is adding to price pressures across several districts while consumer confidence softens.
Translation: the bar for cuts has quietly risen, and at least one voter wants the market to stop assuming the next move is down.
The comments landed in a market that had run nine straight sessions on the assumption that policy was easing from here. The 10 year Treasury yield rose and equities gave back ground, with the Dow down more than 600 points. Officials remain divided, but the hawkish wing is getting louder ahead of Friday's May payrolls report and a new Fed chair's first meeting next week. The jobs number now carries more weight than usual for the rate path.

Nine green sessions, then one hawkish Logan comment and the Dow sheds 600. The setup matters more than the headline: with the 10Y rising and the Beige Book flagging Middle East inflation, this is the market repricing rate risk it had been ignoring. Watch if dip buyers show up before Friday's NFP 🧠

The S&P 500 index closed at a record high. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was essentially flat. The Nasdaq led the gains. Eight out of 11 sectors closed lower—the gains were almost entirely driven by large-cap AI stocks.
Notably, will the bubble in AI stocks affect technology stocks, memory stocks, and future space technology stocks?
AI is involved in every aspect—is it insufficient or excessive?
One must be cautious; FOMO buying is dangerous.

Trump: US and Iran had “very good and productive talks” over the past two days.
On 23 March local time, Trump posted on Truth Social that “the United States and Iran had very good and productive talks over the past two days.” He also said he has instructed a five-day pause on all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.
Cannot tahan lah. Witnessed global sell-off this morning, and now we’re on a 🎢 rollercoaster? TACO time again? Will it rebound soon?

Day 2 - My Investment Diary
With the US stock markets closed for the weekend, we're taking a deep dive into yesterday's session, Friday, March 13, where we saw another rough close across the major indices.
The $S&P 500(.SPX.US) ended the day down 0.61% at 6,632.19, the $NASDAQ-100(.NDX.US) slid 0.93% to 22,105.36, and the $Dow Jones Industrial Average(.DJI.US) dipped a milder 0.26% to 46,558.47.
This marks the fourth straight day of losses for the S&P, pushing it about 5% below its recent highs and capping off a volatile week where erratic oil prices and geopolitical headlines dominated the narrative.
At the forefront is the escalating conflict in the Middle East, particularly involving Iran. Reports of US and Israeli strikes, combined with Iran's threats to restrict oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies, have sent crude oil prices surging. Brent crude topped $90 a barrel this week, fueling inflation fears and raising concerns about prolonged supply disruptions.
