ASX 200 Plummets: A Ray of Hope Emerges!

Australia experienced a tough week as the ASX 200 dropped by 1.7%.

However, there was a bright spot in the employment data, which revealed a decline in the unemployment rate to 4% and the addition of nearly 40,000 new jobs in May, matching market expectations.

This positive employment trend provides a beacon of hope amid the current market instability.

Nasdaq and S&P 500 Soar Despite Cautious Fed!

In the United States, market trends were mixed but largely positive. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 increased by 3.2% and 1.6% respectively, fueled by lower-than-expected CPI data for May.

Headline inflation remained steady month-over-month and rose by 3.3% year-over-year, bolstering hopes that the Federal Reserve might reduce rates this year.

Despite these promising figures, the Fed adopted a cautious approach, keeping the target rate unchanged and predicting fewer rate cuts in 2024 but more in the following years.

This cautious optimism has heightened market expectations for rate cuts in September and December.

OpenAI Arrives on Apple: Siri Just Got Smarter!

OpenAI is coming to Apple devices and Siri. Although this announcement was anticipated, it could be a significant move for the company.

Many of the new AI features will operate directly on Apple devices rather than in the cloud, and they will only be available on new devices.

There hasn't been much excitement around new iPhone models recently, so the company really needed a new catalyst to drive upgrades.

Speaking of excitement, Apple also added the calculator app to the iPad after 14 years of not having it.
