PANews June 7 news, according to Jinshi, this week, major US stock indexes closed higher, and the S&P 500 hit a more than three-month high on Friday. The Dow Jones Index also rose to a three-month high. The better-than-expected non-farm payrolls report eased market concerns about the economy, while Tesla (TSLA.O) rebounded from a sharp drop on Thursday and technology stocks continued to rise. However, as of June 4, US stock funds saw capital outflows for the third consecutive week due to continued concerns about US trade policies. In terms of commodities, gold prices fell considerably on Thursday and Friday, but still recorded an overall increase this week, closing at $3,311.68 per ounce. It is worth noting that although the number of new non-farm payrolls in the United States in May was slightly better than expected, Trump once again put pressure on the Federal Reserve on social media, urging it to cut interest rates by 100 basis points. The following are the key points that the market will focus on in the new week:

In terms of other economic data, the U.K. will release its employment report for the three months to April next Tuesday, and the market will focus on whether there are more signs of layoffs.
