Noteworthy macro moves today: US 2Y Treasury Bond -0.1%. US 10Y Treasury Bond -0.5%. Bitcoin +2.4%. Noteworthy US mega-cap moves today: Tesla Inc (TSLA) +4.1%. Broadcom Inc (AVGO) -2.3%. Amazon.com Inc (AMZN) +2.2%. 

The U.S. labor market data released today indicates a mixed picture, with nonfarm payrolls increasing by 139,000 in May—slightly above expectations of 130,000—and the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.2%. Average hourly earnings rose by 0.4%, surpassing forecasts and suggesting some wage inflation amidst ongoing economic uncertainties.

In Europe, Germany's industrial production fell more than anticipated in April by 1.4% month-over-month compared to an expected decline of only 1%. This drop is attributed to reduced output across various sectors as businesses adjust following previous tariff impacts from the United States; concurrently, Germany’s trade surplus also narrowed significantly due to declining exports amid rising imports.

Additionally, geopolitical tensions have resurfaced with escalating conflicts involving Ukraine affecting global markets and contributing to fluctuations in commodity prices such as gold and oil. The recent public feud between President Trump and Elon Musk has further added volatility within equity markets while overshadowing optimism surrounding renewed U.S.-China trade talks that were described positively after Trump's call with Xi Jinping earlier this week.
