May is Done! How Do You Expect June Movement?

S&P 500 has risen 6.15% this month, marking its best monthly gain of the year. After April’s sell-off and May’s surge, did you make any money? There’s a saying: “Sell in May and go away.” Will you follow it? Interestingly, the market clearly ignored that advice last year. However, June hasn’t historically been a standout month in terms of performance. Historically, the market has NEVER made the top for the year in the month of June. (since 1980) Will you continue to hold or take profits? Will June defy seasonal patterns, or see a temporary cooldown?

S&P 500 just clocked its best month of the year (+6.15%), and honestly, Mays been kind. Between $NVIDIA(NVDA)$   moonshot, $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  's rebound, and steady gains from $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$  , I can't complain — even if I did trim a little early. 😅 Now comes June — historically meh, and never the top month since 1980. But with rate cut hopes simmering and earnings tailwinds still intact, I wouldnt rule out a quiet grind higher… before the real test in Q3. 🧠 My take: Stay invested but tactical. Valuations are stretched in parts, but breadth is improving. Im keeping exposure, especially in tech and semis,

Occidental Petroleum (OXY)

I opened my Tiger Brokers app yesterday and noticed a notable surge in Occidental Petroleum (OXY) stock. The stock closed at $42.69, up 3.02% from the previous trading day — a strong move that immediately caught my attention. Occidental (OXY) One likely catalyst behind this rally is the recent rise in global oil prices, perhaps fueled by escalating geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and Iran. Concerns over supply disruptions continue to unsettle markets, driving crude prices higher and providing a tailwind for energy stocks like OXY. Additionally, the latest announcement from OPEC+ regarding a modest production increase of just 411,000 barrels per day in July came in below market expectations. This smaller-than-expected output bump signals that supply constraints may persist, further support

U.S. steel tariffs up to 50%: Steel stocks rise, auto stocks fall.

On June 3, 2025, U.S. President Trump signed an executive order, announcing that starting from June 4, the tariffs on imported steel and aluminum would be increased from 25% to 50%, but the tariffs on steel and aluminum imported from the UK would still remain at 25%.This policy is aimed at protecting the profit margins of the U.S. domestic steel and aluminum industries and stimulating investment in new production capacity.Although the tariff policy may increase the cost of raw materials for U.S. manufacturing, the market expects that this policy will help boost the profits of domestic steel and aluminum producers, thereby driving up stock prices.Despite the renewed escalation of trade tensions, the U.S. stock market continues to rise.As of the close on Tuesday:

June Unveiled: Can the S&P 500 Keep the May Momentum Rolling?

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ May’s over, and what a ride it was! The S&P 500 soared 6.15%, its strongest monthly gain of 2025, clawing back from April’s brutal sell-off. If you rode that wave, congrats—your wallet’s probably a little fatter. But now, June looms, and the big question is: Will the market keep climbing, or is it time for a breather? With the "Sell in May and go away" saying buzzing around, historical trends whispering caution, and last year’s defiance in the rearview, let’s unpack what June might have in store—and whether you should hold tight or cash in. May’s Triumph: From Ashes to Gains April was a bloodbath—5.75% wiped off the S&P 500 amid tariff fears and economic wobbles. Then came May, a phoenix rising with a 6.15% surge, flipp

May concluded with the S&P 500 achieving a 6.15% gain, marking its strongest monthly performance of the year. This rally followed April’s downturn, challenging the traditional “Sell in May and go away” adage. While historical data indicates that the May to October period often yields weaker returns compared to November to April, recent trends suggest that rigid adherence to this strategy may not be beneficial. Investors who remained engaged in the market during May likely capitalized on the upswing, highlighting the potential drawbacks of strictly following seasonal investment patterns. Looking ahead to June, it’s noteworthy that this month has historically not been a peak period for the market. However, past performance doesn’t guarantee future results. With ongoing economic developme

As we step into June, the US market appears set for another exciting month. This month key economic data such as CPI and GDP figures come into focus.  I will be watching the Feds' policy signals too. Yet with uncertainties lie opportunities. I will continue my dollar cost averaging strategy into ETFs such as $SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF(SPLG)$ as well as $STI ETF(ES3.SI)$.  A well diversified portfolio can reduce the impact of market volatility on my overall returns. While it is important to remain updated on economic data releases and Fed policy signals, it is just as important to stay calm and focused on my goal which is FIRE - Financial Independence Retire Early.

A Bullish Outlook for the S&P 500 in June 2025 As we step into June 2025, the financial markets are buzzing with anticipation following a remarkable 6.15% surge in the S&P 500 during May, marking it as the best-performing month of the year so far. This impressive rally, coming on the heels of April’s sell-off, has reignited optimism among investors and sparked debates about the relevance of the old adage, “Sell in May and go away.” Historically, June has not been a standout month for the S&P 500, with data since 1980 showing it has never been the top-performing month of the year. However, I am bullish on the S&P 500 for June 2025, and here’s why. The Momentum Carries Forward The 6.15% gain in May is a strong signal of underlying market strength. This surge suggests that inv

Historically,markets do not do well in June compared to other months. But that does not mean that investments in June bags negative returns. In fact,staying invested is the key to beat inflation and erosion of the value of money.

The only tough trade I have is .. to pay an extra for queuing this price or a bit lower for that price. In the end, I just go for it and out of the way. Ie didn’t bother to wait for the a bit lower price. 🤭😇. I can easily earn back that little saving. @MHh
