Market Recap and Upcoming Economic Indicators - June 5th Edition

In this episode of Dividend Cafe, host Brian Szytel from Newport Beach TBG HQ discusses the market's downturn on June 5, with the DOW closing down 108 points, the S&P down half a percent, and the Nasdaq down eight-tenths of a percent. Bond yields slightly rose, with the 10-year yield up three basis points to 4.39%. The episode examines recent economic data, including higher-than-expected initial jobless claims and a decline in Q1 productivity, attributing some of the economic softening to tariffs and trade balance shifts. Brian also touches on the complexities of international trade deals and the implications of Treasury bonds on financial institutions like Silicon Valley Bank. He wraps up by discussing the anticipated non-farm payroll numbers coming out soon.
