Weekly Market Brief
Last Week in Review:
The week of June 22–26, 2026, saw a risk-off sentiment dominate the markets, primarily driven by a sharp selloff in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. The S&P 500 declined by 2%, while the Nasdaq Composite tumbled 4.6%, reflecting significant weakness in the tech sector. In contrast, the Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up 0.6%, and the Russell 2000 gained 1%, indicating a rotation into more traditional and smaller-cap stocks. Falling oil prices, spurred by U.S.-Iran peace negotiations, provided some relief to inflation concerns but were insufficient to offset the broader market downturn.
Overall, the dominant theme was a cautious market adjusting to sector-specific pressures and geopolitical developments.
Week Ahead — What to Watch:
Looking ahead to the week of June 29–July 3, 2026, several key events are poised to influence market dynamics. On Tuesday, June 30, Nike (NKE) will report its fiscal Q4 earnings after the market closes, with analysts anticipating earnings of 13 cents per share on revenue of $10.85 billion. Investors will closely monitor these results for insights into consumer spending trends. On Wednesday, July 1, Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh is scheduled to speak at a European Central Bank symposium in Portugal, where any commentary on monetary policy could impact market sentiment. The week culminates on Thursday, July 2, with the release of the June nonfarm payrolls report, expected to show an addition of approximately 100,000 jobs and an unemployment rate holding steady at 4.3%. Given these catalysts, traders should prepare for potential volatility, especially in sectors sensitive to consumer behavior and monetary policy signals.
