PANews, June 7th - According to Jinshi News, following Friday's much-better-than-expected non-farm payroll data release, market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike this year surged, causing spot gold to plummet, almost erasing all gains for the year and marking its fourth consecutive week of decline. Silver's overall trend mirrored gold but with slightly higher volatility, closing down 9.85% this week. The US dollar index, boosted by the better-than-expected non-farm payroll data, rose sharply to slightly above the 100 mark. Following Friday's non-farm payroll data, US tech stocks suffered a sharp decline.

The market will see a series of important events in the coming week, but the most anticipated is SpaceX's potential initial public offering (IPO). According to current plans, the transaction may commence on Friday, and if it goes ahead, it is expected to have a significant impact on overall market sentiment, although the specific direction remains uncertain. Besides SpaceX, Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, earnings reports, and TSMC's May sales data are also likely to be important factors influencing market volatility. Next week, US stocks enter a relatively quiet phase of earnings season. Although the overall number of reports is not large, two heavyweight technology companies, Oracle and Adobe, will be making their appearances, becoming the focus of market attention.
