Analyst: The employment report is mixed, leaning more towards hawkish
Pepperstone Senior Research Strategist Michael Brown: The U.S. employment report for May was mixed. The report overall contained hawkish tendencies, with hiring continuing to grow rapidly and corporate profits growing more than expected, up 0.4% month-on-month and 4.1% year-on-year. This indicates that the labor market is still relatively tight overall. Generally speaking, the May employment report seems unlikely to change the outlook for Federal Reserve policy. As expected, members of the Federal Open Market Committee continue to place greater emphasis on inflation in their dual mandate and may reiterate next week that they have not yet gained the confidence people are seeking.

Successfully recovered the Starship upper stage, SpaceX debuts “chopstick ship-clamp,” analyst: the most critical step supporting its trillion-dollar valuation
SpaceX has, for the first time, used the launch tower's mechanical arm to catch the Starship spacecraft mid-air, setting a precedent for orbital spacecraft recovery via tower mechanism in aerospace history. Bernstein analysts believe this is a key step supporting SpaceX's multitrillion-dollar valuation—full reusability will significantly reduce orbital costs, directly enhancing Starlink deployment efficiency and raising the commercial ceiling. Morgan Stanley warns that the market is underestimating the value of this mission, as it will significantly lower execution risks tied to commercial reuse and the expansion of AI-powered space computing capacity.
