Market Commentary | July 7th, 2025

Despite the shortened trading week due to the July 4 holiday, markets digested numerous key economic indicators. On Tuesday, the ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) came in at 49.0, signaling contraction in the manufacturing sector.

The S&P Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) held steady at 52.0 in June, matching May’s 15-month high and signaling continued expansion. Factory output rose for the first time in four months, and employment in the sector grew at its fastest pace in a year. Meanwhile, the Services PMI rose to 53.1, indicating a stronger pace of growth in the services sector, driven by increased new business and improved demand conditions.

Market Commentary | June 23rd, 2025

Last week, the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, maintaining the federal funds target range at 5.25%–5.50%.

At only 1.393 million for Building Permits and -9.8% for Housing Starts, economists will be watching to see if this will be a new trend. Meanwhile, as a key driver of gross domestic product (GDP), Core Retail Sales came in at -0.3%, providing a read of possible fatigue in consumer strength and spending behavior.
