Summary

Markets plunged Friday as unexpectedly strong May jobs data rattled investor confidence, sparking fears the Fed may delay rate cuts—or even hike rates later this year. The surge in employment, combined with rising inflation, has shifted focus to price control over economic growth, sending Treasury yields soaring and crushing tech and AI stocks. Bitcoin tumbled below $60K after a major crypto firm sold assets, while gold slid, wiping out annual gains as higher rates make non-income assets less appealing. Sentiment flipped from greed to fear in a matter of days, with this single report altering market expectations and hinting at a tougher Fed path ahead.
