Sunflower Bank Weekly Market Commentary: June 9, 2025

Each week, our Wealth Management team analyzes the U.S. stock market and bond market activity and news of the previous week, summarizing their findings into a weekly market update report. The key points of this week's commentary, "Equities Continue Recovery Despite Worrisome Survey Data," include:

  • Broad equity indexes rose for the second consecutive week as equities continue their recovery since the suspension of reciprocal tariffs. The S&P 500 is up 20% since the 90-day pause was announced.
  • The May ISM Manufacturing and the Services PMI reports contained worrisome signals for economic activity and inflation. Both indexes signaled a contraction in activity and the price components indicated that input costs are rising.
  • The May employment report came in better than expected. The labor market has slackened from the ultra-tight levels following the pandemic, but recent jobs gains and the unemployment rate remain at healthy levels.
