Wendy's Weekly STOCK MARKET Report "stocks closed last week higher," by Wendy Nelson,
Market Week: June 9, 2025
The Markets (as of market close June 6, 2025)
Wall Street ended last week on a positive note, with each of the benchmark indexes listed here closing higher. The S&P 500 rose to its highest level since February, boosted by guarded optimism around U.S.-China trade talks and a better-than-expected jobs report (see below). However, unemployment claims rose to their highest level in eight months, adding some concerns about the future of the labor sector. Stocks opened last week with minimal gains amid investor profit-taking following a strong May. Throughout the remainder of the week, stocks whipsawed on trade information and economic data. In addition to renewed hopes of a resolution to the trade conflict with China, investors also saw a cooling of the vitriol between President Trump and a former ally. Information technology and communication services outperformed among the market sectors, while consumer discretionary and consumer staples closed the week in the red. Ten-year Treasury yields rose. Crude oil prices had their first weekly gain after declining in each of the previous three weeks.
