The Morning Bull – US Market Morning Update Friday, Jun, 5 2026
US stock futures point lower this morning, with S&P 500 contracts down around 0.4% to 0.7%, while Dow futures are slightly higher, as investors weigh strong US economic signals against rising borrowing cost worries. The US 10 year Treasury yield sits near 4.48% after private payrolls rose by 122,000 in May and a key services scorecard, the ISM non manufacturing PMI, printed at 54.5, its firmest reading in three months. That combination indicates that the economy is still spending and hiring, but that the cost of living and the cost of debt remain stubborn, keeping rate sensitive sectors such as growth tech stocks and small caps squarely in focus for today’s session.
With rate sensitive sectors back in the spotlight, focus your watchlist on 65 resilient stocks with low risk scores before volatility picks up.
