Global equity markets for the week of June 29 – July 4, 2026 saw a clear rotation after weaker-than-expected U.S. labor data.
📌 The holiday-shortened week, with U.S. markets closed on July 3, concentrated volatility into the July 2 session. The June jobs report showed nonfarm payrolls rising by only 57,000, far below expectations of around 114,000–115,000, while unemployment held at 4.2% and wage growth stayed at 3.5% YoY.
📊 Market reaction followed a “bad news is good news” pattern, as softer labor data reduced pressure on the Fed to stay overly hawkish. Short-end yields and the U.S. dollar eased, supporting risk sentiment, while gold gained on expectations of a less restrictive policy path.
🔄 The key theme was divergence across equity groups. The Dow Jones climbed to 52,900 and reached a new record high, while the S&P 500 held a positive base. The Nasdaq, however, came under pressure as chip, AI and mega-cap tech names saw profit-taking after a strong prior rally.
🏦 Capital did not leave equities entirely, but rotated into value and cyclical sectors such as financials, industrials, consumer names and parts of healthcare. With more than two-thirds of S&P 500 stocks advancing despite limited upside in the headline index, market breadth showed signs of improvement.
🌍 Europe traded positively as easing rate expectations and stable oil prices reduced inflation concerns. Asia was more mixed, with Japan pressured by tech profit-taking, while Hong Kong still managed to hold gains.
⚠️ Near term, the market bias remains constructive but selective. The U.S. CPI release on July 14 and Q2 earnings season will be key tests for whether the rotation into value and cyclicals can broaden further, or whether inflation risks and high growth-stock valuations return as the main pressure points.

Just checking out the KOSPI index from South Korea, and it's been on an absolutely wild ride. We're talking a staggering +226% surge over the last year alone.
This kind of parabolic climb really brings back memories of the 2000 Dot-Com Bubble, right before that whole thing popped. It's a pretty striking parallel to see.
Interestingly, this massive rally has propelled the South Korean equity market to become the 6th largest worldwide. They've actually surpassed big players like India, Canada, the UK, and France in market size.
Only the US, China, Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan now sit ahead of them. And the kicker? A huge chunk of this explosive growth is primarily driven by just two chip behemoths: Samsung and SK Hynix.
These two tech giants have been the main engines behind this incredible run. Interesting times for global market dynamics. $BTC $ETH $NVDA
