A strong May jobs report cooled fears of weakness but sent markets into a wobble as the 10-year yield neared 4.6% and the 30-year crossed 5%, helping drive a Nasdaq drop of about 4% and a S&P slide of around 1%. Barclays warns we’re entering a “warning zone” for valuations as higher rates compress the value of future profits, especially for AI-related stocks, prompting a rotation into near-term earnings plays. Inflation pressures persist due to strong demand, supply bottlenecks, oil/shock risks, and tariffs, while an active IPO pipeline (SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI) looms as one of the market’s recent bright spots.

A stronger-than-expected May payrolls report kept the labor market resilient, sending U.S. Treasury yields higher: the 10-year rose to about 4.538%, the 2-year to 4.153% and the 30-year to 5.005%, with unemployment at 4.3% and leisure/hospitality leading gains, reinforcing bets that the Fed will delay rate cuts.
Samsung Display is reported to have achieved over 90% yields on its Gen 8.6 IT OLED line for laptop panels, with some steps hitting about 95%—a “golden yield” level that could enable June shipments and mass production of 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro OLED panels, with around 2 million units expected this year. The panels will use brighter tandem two-stack OLED technology, oxide TFT backplanes, and hybrid encapsulation, and Samsung could activate a second production line if demand grows. Apple’s MBP OLEDs are expected to include touchscreen support, with launch timing now pegged for late 2026 to early 2027, though供应 timing may shift due to chip shortages.

U.S. stock futures were little changed ahead of Nvidia’s Q1 results, while Tuesday’s session saw losses as rising yields pressured equities: the S&P 500 fell about 0.7%, the Nasdaq roughly 0.8%, and the Dow around 0.6%. The 30-year Treasury yield topped 5.19% (its highest in ~19 years) and the 10-year yield neared 4.69%, reigniting inflation concerns.

Friday’s rally faded as U.S. inflation stayed elevated and oil prices remained high ahead of Saturday’s Iran talks in Islamabad, leaving investors cautious about risk-taking.
