SATURDAY RECAP

 Broadcom beat on every line and still fell. Payrolls came in at 172,000, more than double the estimate, and ended nine straight winning weeks in a single session. The Nasdaq posted its worst week in over a year. Hike odds jumped to 70 percent. The market that spent the spring rewarding AI exposure spent Friday demanding something else entirely.

MARKET PULSE

The S&P ended a nine-week winning streak. The Nasdaq dropped 4 percent on Friday alone, its worst single session in over a year. The Dow held up better but still finished the week in the red.

All of it happened while AI earnings kept delivering. Broadcom (AVGO) grew chip revenue by triple digits. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) confirmed server demand is real. The AI earnings cycle kept delivering strong results. The market simply stopped paying extra for them. Here are the six things that actually drove the tape.

PREMIERE FEATURE

Wall Street is calling it "Project Apex"

That's the internal codename for the SpaceX IPO...

And right now... 21 of the largest banks are fighting over the $1.75 Trillion public listing. JPMorgan, Goldman, Morgan Stanley. The list is long.

The "winner" stands to make Billions in profits...

But I've found a way to help Main Street Americans get positioned before the SpaceX IPO.

THEME ONE

The Bar Moved. Broadcom Proved It. Friday Confirmed It.

The most important market development of the week happened before payrolls. Broadcom grew AI chip revenue by triple digits, beat on earnings, raised guidance, and lost hundreds of billions in market cap across two sessions.

The reason was structural. CEO Hock Tan confirmed Google (GOOGL) is working with MediaTek as a second source for AI accelerator chips. Broadcom's entire premium valuation was built on the assumption that hyperscalers would deepen exclusive chip relationships over time. Google just signaled the opposite. The moat that justified the multiple is narrower than the market assumed.

The new clearing bar is now explicit. Beat revenue, beat earnings, raise the guide, and lift the full-year number. Anything less gets sold. CrowdStrike (CRWD) hit the same wall. Palo Alto Networks (PANW) hit it the session before. All three beat. All three fell.

Friday's payrolls selloff amplified what was already in motion. When yields jump and the cost of capital rises, the names most exposed are those priced for perfection. The chip complex was priced for perfection.

Investor Signal 

Marvell Technology (MRVL) faces the same structural read-through as Broadcom. It surged on the custom chip connectivity thesis this week. If Google is diversifying across the stack, every name that priced in exclusivity needs to reprice that assumption. Marvell has not had its Broadcom moment yet.

THEME TWO

Payrolls Doubled the Estimate. The Streak Ended. Hike Odds Surged.

May nonfarm payrolls came in at 172,000 against an 80,000 consensus. More than double. Leisure and hospitality added 70,000 jobs. Local government added 55,000. Some economists flagged World Cup hiring as a likely distortion, with Memorial Day falling early pulling June seasonal jobs into May. Even stripping those two sectors, the number was strong.

The bond market did not wait for seasonal nuance. The 10-year yield jumped above 4.50 percent. The 30-year crossed 5 percent. Hike odds by year end jumped to 70 percent from 50 percent the day before. October hike probability moved from roughly 20 percent to 50 percent. Rate cuts this year are essentially off the table.

The nine-week winning streak ended on the same session the labor market showed its strongest monthly gain in months. The market needed three things to go right simultaneously — peace, growth, and AI. It got one of them in a way that made the other two harder.

Watch Signal 

Watch the two-year yield at Monday's open. If it holds above 4.15 percent, the hike narrative has staying power into June 16. Warsh's first FOMC is now a hold-versus-hike meeting, not a hold-versus-cut meeting. That changes the calculus for every rate-sensitive name.

Porter Stansberry: This Could Be Bigger Than A Stock Crash or Financial Collapse

A brutal, invisible new force is about to rip America apart… and the resulting civil unrest, political chaos, and cries for radical change will be immense. Unlike any we’ve seen in living memory.

And unless you prepare now you could see your wealth decimated in the years ahead. I shared everything you need to know about what’s coming next in my new exposé.

THEME THREE

The Rotation Proved Real. Staples and Healthcare Held.

Thursday looked like a one-day event. Friday confirmed it was not. While the Nasdaq dropped 4 percent, consumer staples rose 2 percent. Healthcare gained over 1 percent. Procter & Gamble (PG) rose more than 5 percent. Coca-Cola (KO) gained more than 3 percent. Colgate-Palmolive (CL) jumped. Eli Lilly (LLY) added nearly 3 percent.

These names do not need the AI chip cycle to work. They need the economy to hold together and consumers to keep spending on necessities. Friday's jobs report confirmed the economy is holding. The rotation was not profit-taking. It was a positioning shift.

The fault line is now clearly drawn. Platform AI names like Nvidia (NVDA) survived better than pure infrastructure chip names. Healthcare and staples absorbed the flow that left tech. Transports were one of the few green sectors Friday. A strong labor market is good for freight.

Execution Bias 

The regime has changed. Own cash-generating names that do not need rate relief to justify their price. Reduce long-duration growth names priced for a cost of capital that no longer exists.

THEME FOUR

$160 Billion in New Supply. The Rebalancing Showed Up.

SpaceX set a fixed IPO price of $135 per share, valuing the company at $1.75 trillion and targeting a $75 billion raise, the largest IPO in history. Combined with Alphabet's $85 billion equity raise earlier in the week, the market absorbed $160 billion in new equity supply in a two-week window.

The question was never whether capital would rotate. The question was where institutions would source liquidity. Friday answered it. Jefferies noted that investors selling Magnificent Seven stocks to fund SpaceX allocations was the most likely rotation path. The AI trades, the semis, the momentum names, that is where the funding comes from. SpaceX lists next Friday, June 12. The selling pressure does not end until the book closes.

Watch Signal 

Watch Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) through the roadshow close. Weakness that cannot be explained by macro or earnings data is the mechanical rebalancing signal.

FROM OUR PARTNERS

On June 11th, a powerful new law signed by President Trump will trigger a radical shift in America’s money system...

When a small group of private companies — not the Fed — will perform a major mint of a new kind of money. 

And those who act before this new system fully kicks in could see gains as high as 40X by 2032.

But those who fail to prepare will be blindsided by this sea change to the U.S. dollar.

THEME FIVE

Private Credit Showed Its First Signs of Spreading Stress.

Two private credit funds capped investor withdrawals within 24 hours of each other. Partners Group capped redemptions the day after Cliffwater did the same. Partners Group CEO David Layton said on television that redemption pressure was making its way into other asset classes. That is the most important sentence said in credit markets this week.

KKR (KKR) fell 5 percent. Blackstone (BX) dropped 6 percent. Apollo Global Management (APO) fell 3 percent. The cause is the same one Moody's flagged earlier in the week. Software company loans are defaulting as AI disrupts their business models. Both funds recovered by Thursday. The recovery does not change the underlying default data. It means the market was pricing a crisis that has not fully arrived yet.

Execution Bias 

Two Moody's downgrades and two redemption caps in one week is the beginning of visibility, not the end of the cycle. Watch the broader business development company sector for widening credit spreads.

THEME SIX

Lululemon Showed What Tariff Damage Looks Like at Scale.

Lululemon (LULU) slashed its full-year outlook after Thursday's close. Gross margin compressed by more than 400 basis points as tariff costs landed faster than the company could pass them through. The stock hit an eight-year low and has now lost close to half its value this year.

This is the template for every brand that imports at scale and sells on premium. Tariffs compress gross margin. Premium pricing cannot absorb them fast enough. The stock re-rates. Lululemon is the first to show this path in full reported numbers. Others with heavy import exposure report soon.

Execution Bias 

Reduce premium discretionary names with heavy tariff exposure before June earnings confirm what Lululemon already showed. The transmission is now visible in reported numbers, not just forecasts.

CLOSING LENS

The week confirmed three things. The AI cycle is real and demanding. The labor market is stronger than anyone modeled. And the cost of capital just repriced in a way that changes every discount rate calculation in the market.

For three years, investors rewarded AI exposure. This week they demanded perfection. That is a higher bar, and it may be the most important market change of the summer. Broadcom, CrowdStrike, Palo Alto, and the rest of the chip complex learned it the same week payrolls ended the longest winning streak of the year. Warsh goes into June 16 with a hot jobs report, a 70 percent hike probability, and a divided committee. The market that spent nine weeks outrunning hard data just ran out of runway.
