CPI inflation reached 4.2% in May, marking its highest level since April 2023. However, markets are drawing optimism from its core measure, which rose by a mere 0.2%. The reading weakened the dollar and allowed the US stock market to take a slight breather. After opening the session with 0.5% declines, both the NASDAQ Composite and the S&P 500 are currently hovering only slightly below the flatline.
For several days, we have observed increased risk aversion in the US. This may be associated not only with rather chaotic messaging coming from the Middle East but also with the SpaceX IPO scheduled for Friday.
Regarding the never-ending US-Iran saga – investors do not seem to interpret yesterday's attacks as a prelude to a significant escalation. We can see this in the limited increases in crude oil prices, with a barrel of Brent currently trading at just under $93.
Today's leading decliner is Super Micro Computer. The 12.5% downward move is primarily the result of news regarding plans to raise as much as $7 billion in new capital through a massive share issuance.

Technical Analysis
US100 (D1)
Source: xStation, 10.06.2026
Following a very strong upward impulse, the index entered a correction phase at the end of March. The price broke below the short-term ascending channel, which is the first clear signal of a weakening trend. The market is currently testing the support zone at 28,645 pts, which coincides with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level. The EMA50 running near 28,338 pts serves as an additional support. As long as quotes remain above this area, the declines can be treated as a correction within the dominant uptrend.
The RSI indicator is hovering near the 50 level, confirming the lack of a clear advantage for either side of the market. Meanwhile, the MACD remains in a sell signal and indicates the fading of the previous upward momentum. Technically, the market picture remains bullish in the medium term, but bears hold the advantage in the short term.
