Daily Market Update – June 12, 2025
Markets ended mixed today as investors digested softer-than-expected inflation data, with the S&P 500 gaining 0.3%, the Dow Jones slipping 0.1%, and the Nasdaq climbing 0.6% on strength in tech stocks. Treasury yields fell slightly, reflecting increased bets on a September Fed rate cut, while the US dollar edged lower against major currencies. Energy stocks declined alongside a 1.2% drop in crude oil prices, while gold rose modestly amid risk-off sentiment. In corporate news, shares of Apple rose 2.5% following strong WWDC-related optimism, while Boeing fell 1.8% after announcing delays in aircraft deliveries. Bitcoin hovered near $67,000, showing little change, and Ethereum remained flat at $3,500. Tomorrow, markets will look to weekly jobless claims and producer price index (PPI) data for further clues on inflation and Fed policy direction.
