ETFsector.com Daily Trading Outlook

S&P futures are down 0.8% Wednesday morning, though off worst overnight levels, after Tuesday’s tech-led weakness erased much of Monday’s relief rally. Rotation into Financials, Healthcare, and Industrials helped limit broader index damage. Global tone is weaker, with Europe lower after a soft Asian session. Treasuries are unchanged to slightly weaker, the dollar is flat, gold is down 2.1%, silver is off 1.6%, Bitcoin futures are down 1.3% and lower in 10 of the past 11 sessions, while WTI crude is little changed in choppy trading.

Markets are focused on continued volatility in tech, especially semis, after Tuesday’s sharp intraday pressure in the SOX. There was no clear catalyst, but overbought conditions, Fed-tightening risk, inflation concerns, and stretched positioning remain key explanations. Today’s May CPI report is the main macro event, with headline inflation potentially moving above 4% y/y for the first time in three years. Middle East risk is also weighing after another round of U.S. “self-defense” strikes against Iran following the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter, with Tehran responding against U.S. and allied targets and Israel launching further strikes in Lebanon.

Economic Calendar

May CPI is due at 8:30 a.m. ET. Headline CPI is expected to rise 0.5% m/m after April’s 0.6% gain, while core CPI is expected to rise 0.3% after 0.4% previously. Treasury will auction $39B of 10-year notes at 1:00 p.m. ET. Thursday brings May PPI, initial claims, and a $22B 30-year Treasury auction. Friday brings preliminary June University of Michigan sentiment and inflation expectations.

Company News

• OpenAI / NVDA: OpenAI is reportedly in advanced talks for a 20-year lease on a 10 GW data-center campus, with Nvidia potentially providing financial backing.
• GOOGL / Anthropic: Alphabet is reportedly providing a financial backstop for its $35B chip-lease agreement with Anthropic.
• SpaceX: Friday’s IPO remains in focus, with reports suggesting demand could be roughly 4x oversubscribed.
• SMCI: Announced a $7B equity offering to fund component purchases needed to satisfy demand for advanced AI servers.

• ADBE: Reports after the close Thursday.

U.S. equities finished mixed Tuesday, with the Dow up 0.17%, S&P 500 down 0.26%, Nasdaq down 0.97%, and Russell 2000 up 0.41%. Stocks ended off midday lows, and breadth was positive, with the equal-weight S&P 500 outperforming the cap-weighted index by more than 100 bp in another rotation-heavy session. Treasuries rallied after a two-day yield backup, with yields down roughly 4 bp across the curve. The dollar slipped 0.1%, gold fell 1.8%, silver dropped 4.9%, Bitcoin futures declined 2.2%, and WTI crude settled down 3.3% to $88.29. The macro backdrop remained dominated by a weaker tech tape, Iran-related headline volatility, and investor anticipation ahead of CPI, PPI, University of Michigan inflation expectations, and the SpaceX IPO later this week.

The main market story was renewed pressure in Technology, with semis and memory giving back much of Monday’s relief rally. There was no clear catalyst, though overbought conditions remained a common explanation, with the SOX up more than 50% over the past three months. Iran headlines were mixed: Trump said the U.S. “must respond” to Iran’s downing of a U.S. helicopter over Hormuz, while the New York Times reported that the U.S. and Iran had reached the “hazy outlines” of a nuclear agreement. Economic data were mixed but generally consistent with a still-solid backdrop. ADP’s weekly private-employment estimate slowed to 29K jobs per week over the four weeks through May 23, the third weekly deceleration. NFIB small-business optimism slipped to 95.3 from 95.9, with job openings and hiring plans falling to six-year lows. The April trade deficit narrowed to $55.9B, helped by oil exports, while existing home sales rose 3.2% m/m to a 4.17M SAAR, the highest since December.

Sector performance reflected broad rotation away from Technology and Energy. Real Estate led, up 2.12%, followed by Materials +1.72%, Healthcare +1.27%, Industrials +1.16%, Utilities +1.13%, Consumer Staples +0.98%, Financials +0.95%, Communication Services +0.15%, and Consumer Discretionary +0.12%. Technology was the clear laggard, down 1.82%, followed by Energy down 1.60%. Outperformers included credit cards, exchanges, private equity, regional banks, MedTech, managed care, airlines, building products, REITs, paper/packaging, apparel, homebuilders, restaurants, and household products. Laggards included semis, memory, software, networking/communications, tech hardware, Apple, Tesla, energy, E&Cs, ag chemicals, department stores, and retail-investor favorites.

Information Technology

• AAPL -3.6%: Weaker again following underwhelming WWDC updates. Analysts said the long-awaited AI platform shift addressed an overhang, but concerns remain around monetization, reliance on Gemini, and Apple’s positioning as a passive LLM gateway.
• VECO +10.1%: Announced a follow-on order from a leading logic customer for its Nanosecond Annealing System and shipped another NAS system to a third advanced-logic customer for evaluation.
• SAIL -11.5%: Q1 EPS and operating income beat, but revenue missed. FY27 EPS and revenue guidance midpoints were in line, and operating-income guidance was ahead, though analysts flagged elevated expectations and ARR growth deceleration.
• Technology hardware / software / semis / memory: Broadly lagged, with semis and memory giving back much of Monday’s rebound and software extending recent weakness.

Communication Services

• RBLX +1.6%: Rose after reports that Russian government agencies proposed lifting restrictions on Roblox’s gaming platform, though any final decision rests with law enforcement authorities.
• OpenAI: Filed confidentially for an IPO, though it did not disclose timing or size. Market commentary continued to cite potential valuation estimates as high as $1T.
• Anthropic: Released Claude Fable, a public-access version of Mythos with guardrails, and finalized a $35B financing deal with Apollo and Blackstone to expand AI infrastructure.
• Perplexity: CEO told CNBC the company plans to go public in 2028.

Consumer Discretionary

• DKNG +11.3%: Disclosed May annualized consumer volume in its Predictions offering rose 24% m/m, while annualized total volume traded increased 34% m/m.
• CAVA: Plans to hire more than 2,500 new team members and open 75 new restaurants this year.
• MTN -4.3%: Fiscal Q3 adjusted EBITDA beat and revenue was in line, but management expects FY adjusted EBITDA to come in at the low end of prior guidance due to softer pass performance and difficult ski-season conditions.
• Apparel / homebuilders / restaurants / airlines: Outperformed as part of the broader rotation away from Technology.

Consumer Staples

• SJM +10.4%: Fiscal Q4 earnings beat with revenue largely in line. Management highlighted strong growth in Coffee and Away From Home, sequential acceleration in Uncrustables, and FY27 EPS guidance ahead of consensus, though revenue growth guidance was below expectations.
• UNFI -10.3%: Fiscal Q3 EPS and EBITDA beat, but revenue missed on Natural and Retail segment weakness. Management narrowed FY guidance and cited pressure from fuel, transportation costs, and strategic network optimization.

Financials

• APLD +2.4%: Announced a new long-term lease agreement at Delta Forge 2 with a U.S.-based hyperscaler, involving roughly $5.2B in base-term contracted revenue and $12.7B including renewal options over a 30-year term.

Healthcare

• NUVL +39.3%: Agreed to be acquired by GSK for roughly $10.6B in cash. The $124/share consideration represents a 40.1% premium to Monday’s close, with the transaction expected to close in Q3 2026.
• WST +4.7%: Upgraded to overweight from equal weight at Barclays, which cited fundamentals and optimism around new management.
• MedTech / managed care: Outperformed and helped Healthcare finish among the stronger sectors.

Industrials

• UTI -8.6%: Coliseum Capital Management filed a notice of proposed sale of roughly 3.97M shares.
• Boeing: Delivered 60 commercial airplanes last month, up 33% y/y.
• Building products / paper and packaging: Outperformed as part of the broader rotation into cyclicals outside Technology.
