Wall Street ended the holiday-shortened week higher, driven by optimism over a potential Federal Reserve interest rate cut by year-end despite weaker-than-expected June jobs data. Technology stocks rebounded early in the week amid easing U.S.-Iran tensions, but later saw volatility as investors rotated into financials and cyclical sectors. The U.S. economy added only 57,000 jobs in June, below expectations, but the unemployment rate fell to 4.2%, leading traders to reduce expectations for further rate hikes. The Dow hit a record high, while the Nasdaq lagged due to profit-taking in top tech stocks. Looking ahead, investors will watch for major economic events next week and ongoing shifts in market participation beyond AI-focused companies.
