Wade's Weekly Market Update
June 10, 2026
Good afternoon,
Markets have stumbled over the past week. Have stocks reached an inflection point? Possibly, and many analysts believe a rotation is underway – out of the AI-driven technology rally and into other sectors that have been underperforming. While technology stocks have dropped sharply from their highs, other sectors have held up well. In choppy markets like these, it pays to remain diversified. Economic conditions are providing some confusion for investors, as well, with mounting concerns about inflation and jobs.
Last Friday, labor reports came in much stronger than expected. While that should be good news, traders interpreted it otherwise. (Hence Friday’s sharp declines.) Strong labor is a sign of a hot economy which equates to inflation. Today’s Consumer Price Indicator (CPI ) added to those concerns coming in at 4.2% year-over-year1. With this kind of data, it’s likely that the Fed may consider interest rate hikes when it meets next week. This will be Kevin Warsh’s first meeting as Fed Chair. It’s unlikely that he’ll be delivering on President Trump’s demand for lower rates anytime soon. Stocks like lower rates too.
The President has painted himself into a corner regarding the US economy with his war in Iran. The closing of the Strait of Hormuz has directly impacted inflation in the US. Despite all other issues, the economy remains the number one driver of voter satisfaction. With five months until the mid-term elections, the clock is ticking and elected Republicans are feeling the heat. Don’t be surprised to see his supporters in the House and Senate begin to publicly distance themselves from his Iran strategy. There is evidence that it’s already starting. The question is, does he even care? Going against him has proven to be a mistake for many in the GOP.
