Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi: Ensuring fiscal capacity is an important issue.Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi: We will clearly define the goal of reducing the debt-to-GDP ratio.Hong Kong-listed AI application stocks continued to decline, with MINIMAX-W (00100.HK) falling more than 13%, Zhipu (02513.HK) falling more than 9%, and Xunze (03317.HK) and WeRide-W (00800.HK) following suit.The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that Russian air defense forces shot down 123 Ukrainian drones over the past night in areas including Voronezh Oblast, Kaluga Oblast, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, the Moscow region, and Crimea.On June 5th, it was reported that Toyota has halted the development of the Lexus LF-ZC all-electric sedan. Originally planned for production at Toyotas Tahara plant in Japan by the end of 2026, the LF-ZC was postponed to mid-2027, and now it has been suspended. A Toyota China representative responded, "The suspension of this models development is mainly due to changes in market demand. This is part of the companys overall vehicle development project adjustments, but it does not mean the company has abandoned BEVs (battery electric vehicles)." Industry insiders believe this adjustment stems from changes in electric vehicle policies in the US and Europe. For example, the US has eliminated the $7,500 federal tax credit for new electric vehicles; the EU has withdrawn its policy of banning the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles by 2035 in principle. Another factor is increased market competition, especially given the clear advantage Chinese brands have over Japanese automakers in the new energy vehicle sector.

S&P 500 & Nasdaq 100 Stumbling on The Edge of a Cliff

The monthly US Jobs Report (NFP) will be announced at 12:30 UK today, with the market expecting 391k new jobs in April, down from 431k in March. The unemployment rate is expected to fall to 3.5 percent, while average hourly earnings are expected to stay constant at 0.4 percent month over month. The US employment market is strong, and unless today's news disappoints, traders will continue to price in higher US interest rates, keeping the US dollar bought. Both John Williams and Raphael Bostic of the Federal Reserve will talk later today, and they may provide some further insight on the FOMC decision on Wednesday.

 

The 500 chart demonstrates how technical analysis may be useful even in turbulent times. The bullish hammer candle we saw on Monday led to a big comeback until yesterday's sell-off, while the resistance zone we saw around 4,300–4,310 maintained on Wednesday and Thursday. If 4,060 holds, the S&P 500 will have a chance to rebound in the near term; otherwise, 4,035 will come into play quite rapidly. Any efforts to go higher should be met with resistance in the 4,300–4,310 range. Volatility is still at an all-time high.

 

According to retail trader statistics, 68.09 percent of traders are net-long, with a long-to-short ratio of 2.13 to 1. The number of traders who are net-long is up 18.01 percent from yesterday and up 16.33 percent from last week, while those who are net-short is down 26.33 percent from yesterday and 14.60 percent from last week.


We usually take the other side of popular mood, and the fact that traders are net-long signals that the US 500 will continue to decline. Traders are more net-long today than they were yesterday and last week, and the combination of current mood and previous movements gives us a greater contrarian trading bias in the US 500.
