  Hey everyone , it's your pal Finny Financials here , and welcome to Spy Trader !

  It's 6 pm on Monday , June 2nd , 2025 , Pacific time , and things are heating up in the market .
• 0:13
  Let's dive into what's been shaking things up today .
• 0:17
  So , the market had a pretty good day today .
• 0:19
  We started June on a high note , riding the momentum from May where the S&P 500 and Nasdaq had their best month since November 2023 .
• 0:29
  Despite some early jitters about global trade , stocks closed higher .
• 0:34
  The S&P 500 went up about 0.4% , the Nasdaq climbed 0.7% , and the Dow inched up 0.1% .
• 0:44
  Tech stocks were shining , especially Meta Platforms , which jumped 3.6% on news of their new AIdriven ad service .
• 0:53
  Nvidia and Broadcom also had a good day .
• 0:56
  Steel companies like Steel Dynamics and Nucor got a boost from President Trump's plan to potentially double tariffs on steel imports .
• 1:04
  Honeywell also looks solid in the industrials sector .
• 1:07
  Plus , real estate is showing strong returns too !
• 1:12
  Trade tensions are still a big worry .
• 1:15
  The US and China are still butting heads , and those steel tariffs aren't helping calm things down .
• 1:21
  Also , a court blocked some of Trump's tariffs , but the admin is fighting back , so that's still up in the air .
• 1:27
  Of course , everyone's watching the Fed like a hawk , wondering when they might cut interest rates .
• 1:33
  Speaking of companies , Apple's WWDC on June 9th is going to be all about AI , and Tesla is set to launch Robotaxi testing on June 12th !
• 1:43
  Now , let's get into what all this means .
• 1:46
  Trade is a HUGE deal .
• 1:48
  Any news on tariffs or agreements can swing the market fast .
• 1:52
  Rising Treasury yields and worries about Uncle Sam's debt could also cause some trouble .
• 1:57
  And , as always , keep an eye on what the Fed's saying about interest rates .
• 2:02
  High rates can make it tough for companies to borrow money and can make bonds look more attractive than stocks .
• 2:09
  Okay , so what should you do with all this info ?
• 2:12
  Well , first things first , stay invested and keep your portfolio diversified .
• 2:17
  I'd say overweight US largecap and midcap stocks , since they're expected to have some nice earnings growth .
• 2:24
  Also , think about spreading some love to international stocks to manage market volatility .
• 2:30
  For specific companies , Nvidia looks strong with its AI partnerships , and Palantir is up big this year .
• 2:38
  Johnson & Johnson offers stability combined with good growth potential as well .
• 2:44
  Looking ahead to June , expect some bumps .
• 2:47
  We've got a bunch of central bank meetings and economic data coming out , which could make things pretty volatile .
• 2:53
  Geopolitical stuff , like trade talks and summits , will also play a role .
• 2:58
  Historically , June hasn't been amazing for US stocks , but the Nasdaq 100 tends to do okay .
• 3:06
  So there you have it , folks !
• 3:08
  Remember , this is just my take on things based on the latest info as of June 2nd , 2025 .
• 3:15
  Always do your own homework and chat with a financial pro before making any big moves .
