🎯 Session Review
Wednesday, June 3 was not a great day to check your portfolio. The S&P 500 shed 56 points to close at 7,553.68, the Nasdaq dropped nearly 240 points, and the Dow took the worst hit of the trio, falling over 620 points. All three major indexes closed firmly in the red.The selling pressure came from multiple directions at once. Treasury yields ticked higher across the board, with the 10-year climbing to 4.49%, which tends to make equities look less attractive by comparison. Meanwhile, the dollar strengthened, with the DXY index rising to 99.53, adding another layer of pressure on risk assets.
Bitcoin also joined the selloff, dropping over 2% to $65,311. When crypto, stocks, and bonds all move in the same uncomfortable direction, it tells you the market is dealing with something bigger than a single headline. Today, it was dealing with several.

Let's start with the headline that turned heads. Uber (UBER) announced it is cutting 23% of its People division, part of a broader wave of efficiency moves rolling through big tech. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi framed it as necessary in a memo to staff. Layoffs at this scale signal that even profitable platforms are tightening their belts heading into the second half of 2026.Over at AT&T (T), shares hit an eight-month low after an Oppenheimer analyst warned that investors are underestimating the threat from SpaceX's satellite internet expansion. That is a slow-moving but serious competitive pressure on traditional telecom infrastructure. The market heard the warning loud and clear.
On a brighter note, Tesla (TSLA) announced the launch of unsupervised robotaxis in the Austin metro area, a genuinely significant milestone for autonomous driving. And Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) upsized its equity offering to a staggering $84.75 billion to fund AI infrastructure. Both moves show that the AI and autonomy build-out is far from slowing down, even on a down day.
SpaceX 'Dark Energy' Replaces Foreign Oil
For years, we've been told SpaceX is a rocket company. But according to new satellite images from 300 miles above the Earth's surface, there is something very strange going on at SpaceX right now that has nothing to do with space. It could soon replace our need for foreign oil forever and ignite a $10 trillion boom for the stocks involved.
🎭 Investor Mood
At the same time, U.S. factory orders posted their largest monthly jump in nearly 11 months in April, driven by commercial aircraft demand and broad goods orders. That is genuinely good economic news, but on a day like today it barely moved the needle against the macro worry pile.
Sentiment is caught in a tug of war. Strong domestic manufacturing data says the economy is holding up. Geopolitical risk, rising yields, and tech layoffs say be careful. When bulls and bears are both making valid points, markets tend to drift lower until one side blinks.

I paid $5,000 to hear Elon say this
I recently paid $5,000 to be in a room with Elon Musk in Los Angeles. And what he said in that room, confirmed everything my 15+ years in the tech industry had been telling me. I believe what Elon is launching right now — a project 27 years in the making — could be his biggest move yet.
💸 Bottom Line
A few things are worth watching as we move forward from today. Alphabet's massive $84.75 billion equity raise is a signal worth sitting with. When one of the world's largest companies raises that kind of capital specifically for AI infrastructure, it tells you where the next wave of growth is being built. It also tells you that the capital requirements for competing in AI are enormous.Lockheed Martin (LMT) successfully tested a container-launched missile interceptor this week, underscoring that defense spending continues to accelerate in a world where geopolitical tensions are not easing. That theme is worth tracking across the defense sector broadly.
Bank of America (BAC) announcing plans to hire nearly 4,000 interns and campus recruits is a quiet signal that financial institutions still see long-term growth ahead. Keep an eye on how yields evolve from here. The 30-year sitting at 4.99% is knocking on a psychologically significant door, and how it moves next will shape where equities go.
