Wall Street’s major market averages moved lower on Friday as traders assessed May’s labor report, while tech continued to be under pressure. On the economic front, nonfarm payrolls soared past consensus in May, while the unemployment rate stood at 4.3%.
The next week is expected to be relatively quiet on both the economic and the earnings front, with no economic data scheduled for Monday. On Tuesday, existing home sales data for May will be released, followed by the monthly CPI data on Wednesday. Thursday will see the release of the PPI number for May alongside initial jobless claims numbers.
