Good MorningU.S. stocks ended the day mixed as the dollar’s 10% decline year-to-date weighed on investors’ minds and fueled a rally in commodities. The U.S. Dollar Index fell to its weakest level since the early 1970s, helping to boost gold and crude oil futures, while pressure on growth names like NVIDIA and Tesla caused both stocks to be among the most active during the session and to close lower. Treasury yields held near recent ranges as traders weighed mixed economic signals and a still-steady Fed outlook.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stood firm on keeping interest rates unchanged despite renewed criticism from President Trump, reiterating that policymakers need to see how tariffs and fiscal plans play out before shifting course. That patience was underscored by May’s unexpectedly strong jobs report, which showed U.S. openings climbing to 7.8 million—a fresh sign of labor-market resilience that suggests underlying inflation pressures have yet to fully abate.
