The Nasdaq dropped 4.77% last week, driven by a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report that increased the likelihood of Federal Reserve rate hikes. This macroeconomic data strengthened the U.S. dollar and pressured bond ETFs. Additionally, Broadcom's disappointing quarterly results triggered a sell-off in semiconductor stocks, contributing to a $1 trillion market capitalization wipeout despite broader gains since February.

- Stock markets experienced a sharp decline after a surprisingly strong jobs report indicated 172,000 jobs were added in May, significantly surpassing expectations.  
- This outcome raised concerns over potential interest rate increases by the Fed, leading to a negative reaction in stock prices, particularly a 4.77% drop in Nasdaq.  
- Despite the recent sell-off, markets have overall risen by $5.76 trillion since February, with long-term investments in sectors like semiconductors remaining profitable.

The US national debt has surged to a record $39 trillion, with daily compounding of $7.39 billion and annual interest costs exceeding $1 trillion. Concurrently, 30-year Treasury yields hit a 17-year high of 5.19%, increasing borrowing costs for mortgages and business loans. Experts warn that reliance on foreign capital poses risks; falling demand for Treasurys could further drive up rates and weaken the dollar.

Bitcoin dropped from over $120,000 to under $59,999 due to selling pressure and stronger US dollar appeal. With a 50% chance of falling below $50,000 by year-end, investors are shifting toward treasury ETFs yielding 3.9%-4.6%. Crypto platform stocks like Coinbase and SoFi face high short interest as bears predict downside, while conservative investors avoid digital bank peers Nu Holdings and PayPal.

- Bitcoin (BTC-USD) fell from over $120,000 to below $59,999 since November 2025, with predictions suggesting a 50/50 chance of dropping below $50,000 by year-end.  
- This decline is attributed to selling pressure as other assets became more appealing, despite the Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting 172,000 new jobs and the potential for a rate hike strengthening the US dollar.  
- Investors are moving away from cryptocurrency platforms towards long-term treasury bill ETFs, with stocks of platforms like Coinbase and SoFi facing increased short interest.

The AI boom has created a single-narrative market, with AI-related stocks comprising over 50% of the S&P 500. While earnings are strong, this concentration poses risks. Investors are advised to diversify by reducing tech exposure and adding uncorrelated assets like energy or Treasuries to mitigate volatility and potential downturns.

- The earnings season highlights the increasing dominance of artificial intelligence in the S&P 500 Index, with significant profits reported across various sectors.  
- While 84% of S&P 500 companies exceeded earnings expectations, some sectors, like consumer discretionary, remain cautious due to underlying demand issues.  
- Investors are advised to diversify portfolios, considering lower-correlation sectors like energy to mitigate volatility amid the AI boom's uncertain future.

US debt tops GDP as surging yields lift borrowing costs

Japan's Finance Minister warned of 'decisive action' to defend the yen as it neared the 160-per-dollar threshold. Foreign reserves dropped by $77.1 billion, a historic fall attributed to selling US Treasuries for intervention. The government maintains close coordination with the US and asserts its right to combat excessive volatility, while analysts note constraints on future large-scale interventions due to reserve depletion.

With inflation hitting a three-year high of 3.8%, advisors are recommending shifts to inflation hedges like I-bonds, TIPS, Treasury bills, and money markets. This strategy aims to protect against eroding cash value, as low-yield savings accounts (e.g., 0.01% APY) fail to keep pace with rising consumer prices, significantly squeezing household budgets.
