The SPY Trader

Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1227. Hey there, Spy Traders! It's your pal Finny the Financial Fox, here to give you the lowdown on what's shakin' in the markets. It's 6 am on Tuesday, June 10th, 2025, Pacific time, and the coffee is brewin', the charts are glancin', and hopefully we are ready for some profitable trades. Let's dive in! So, overall, things are lookin' a little mixed up out there. Yesterday was kinda flat, folks paused for a breather as the market's been flirtin' with fourmonth highs. The US500, that's our main squeeze, is up a tiny 0.04% to 6008 points today. Not a huge jump, but hey, it's still climbin'. Over the last month, we're talkin' a 2.81% rise, and compared to last year at this time, we're up almost 12%! That's not bad, not bad at all! Now, let's peek at the specifics. The Dow Jones? Basically flat. The NASDAQ had a decent jump, up 1.20%. And the S&P 500? Up a solid 1.03% to just over 6,000. Sectorwise, Materials are leadin' the charge, up 1.0%. Financials, on the other hand, are draggin' a bit, especially exchanges, data providers, and insurance companies. Keep an eye on those financials. Maybe a good opportunity to buy low or a sign of somethin' bigger? Who knows! Okay, news time! Those USChina trade talks in London are still happenin'. Big stuff! What comes out of those talks will definitely wiggle the market, so stay tuned! And get ready for a bunch of IPOs this week! We've got Ategrity Specialty Holdings, Vantage Corp from Singapore, Chime Financial, and Voyager Technologies all comin' to the party. Keep an eye on Chime Financial, it could be a big one. Also, some companies are presentin' at conferences this month. We're talkin' KKR & Co., NVIDIA, Taiwan Semiconductor, JPMorgan Chase, and even Eli Lilly. Those presentations can be major catalysts for stock prices, so do your homework! Now for the big picture stuff. Vanguard, those smart cookies, are thinkin' GDP growth is gonna be around 1.5% this year. Unemployment might tick up a bit, but not as high as they previously thought. Inflation is gonna speed up, and the Fed's probably gonna hold steady on interest rates until at least September, maybe even cut 'em twice later in the year. Finally, the analyst are always chatterin' with their 'buy,' 'sell,' and 'hold' ratings. Keep an eye on stocks with recent ratings, they're usually market darlings or potential opportunities. So, what's Finny's advice? Cautious optimism, folks! The market's throwin' us some mixed signals. Trade talks, inflation, potential slowdowns... it's a lot to chew on. I'd be lookin' at Materials, they are looking strong now. Financials look a little dodgy, tread carefully there. Pay attention to those company presentations; they can be goldmines! Keep an eye on those macro numbers from the Fed, too. And as always, DIVERSIFY! Don't put all your eggs in one basket! DO YOUR RESEARCH! And if you're feelin' lost, talk to a financial advisor. They're the pros! Remember, I'm just a financial fox, not a financial guru. This ain't advice, just my two cents. Now go out there and make some smart trades! Finny out!
