NAGA Weekly Recap June 2 - 6, 2025

Markets wrapped up the week on a tense note as traders digested a wave of key economic data, with the spotlight on the Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report. While signs of cooling inflation stirred some cautious optimism, uncertainty around central bank policy kept sentiment in check. Global indicators sent mixed signals—some sectors showed resilience, while others hinted at slowdown—leaving the outlook murky. Geopolitical tensions continued to simmer in the background, adding another layer of complexity for traders trying to gauge risk and momentum heading into next week.

It is important to remember to assess your financial situation and risk tolerance, before engaging in copy trading. Past performance and forecast are not reliable indicators of future results. Markets Markets Stabilize as Traders Eye Inflation and the Fed This week, markets managed to steady after a wave of mixed signals, with all eyes locked on inflation trends and the upcoming Non-Farm Payrolls report. Cooling price data sparked some hope, but the Fed’s hawkish stance kept traders alert. While optimism is creeping in, rate hike risks are still very much on the table—leaving young investors weighing the next move in a market that refuses to settle. Stocks Stocks Climb, but Rate Jitters Keep Gains in Check It was a choppy week for equities, with every rally shadowed by shifting rate expectations ahead of the NFP report. Tech stocks held strong—fueled by the ongoing AI hype and standout earnings—but the broader market struggled to shake off worries about rising yields and economic uncertainty. For traders, it was all about reading the Fed’s next move and staying nimble. Commodities Gold Slips, Oil Holds as Traders Weigh Demand and Data Gold lost ground this week as profit-taking kicked in and safe-haven demand faded amid a slightly more upbeat market mood. Oil stayed relatively steady, caught between supply concerns and a murky demand outlook. With traders closely watching the upcoming NFP report, a strong print could harden Fed policy expectations—pressuring both gold and energy markets moving forward. Forex Dollar Drifts as Traders Brace for NFP Shake-Up The dollar had a mixed week, bouncing on shifting rate expectations ahead of the key NFP release. Traders weighed every data point, trying to guess whether the Fed sticks to its “higher for longer” stance. A strong jobs report could fuel more dollar strength, while a weak print might revive rate cut bets. Major pairs like EUR/USD and GBP/USD stayed highly reactive, making FX a volatile space to watch. This week’s market twists remind us that trading is all about timing and adapting. With key data and Fed decisions just around the corner, staying informed and ready to pivot is crucial. Keep learning, stay disciplined, and get ready—your next big trade could be right around the corner.
