Previous Session
From Briefing.com:
The S&P 500 rose 1.6% on Monday in a bullish start to the week, but it was the Nasdaq Composite (+2.2%) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (+1.8%) that gained the advantage today. The Nasdaq closed at another record high, while the Russell 2000 underperformed the large-cap indices with a 0.8% gain. Ten of the 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in positive territory, including the consumer discretionary (+3.2%), communication services (+2.2%), financials (+2.0%), and information technology (+1.8%) sectors atop the standings. The utilities sector (-1.3%) was the lone holdout with a 1.3% decline.
[…]U.S. Treasuries finished slightly lower in a tight-ranged session. The 2-yr yield increased one basis point to 0.16%, and the 10-yr yield increased two basis points to 0.68%. The U.S. Dollar Index declined 0.4% to 96.75. WTI crude declined 0.2% to $40.51/bbl.

- The ISM Non-Manufacturing Index for June increased to 57.1% (Briefing.com consensus 49.0%) from 45.4% in May. A reading above 50.0% connotes an expansion in activity. June represented the first month of expanding activity since March.
- Survey responses reflect changes, if any, in the current month compared to the previous month. The key takeaway, then, is that the June report can’t be taken at face value as a “strong” report so much as it can be taken as a report showing stronger activity relative to the depressed activity in May.
