Week InReview: July 3, 2026

US markets are closed for Independence Day. | Options traders are paying up to hedge against sharp moves in the yen, on guard against potential government intervention. The currency touched its weakest level against the dollar this week since 1986. | Precious metals rose as gold advanced toward $4,200/ounce after weak US jobs data spurred investors to scale back bets on Fed irate increases. Copper also climbed with other industrial metals, supported by a weaker US dollar. | Second-quarter redemption requests in the private credit market exceeded those of the prior three-month period. The latest round left more than $14.5 billion of investor capital trapped at over a dozen funds, according to Bloomberg estimates and data from Robert A. Stanger & Co. | US equity index futures opened steady after the Nasdaq-100 lost 1.6% in the US session, while the SOX index tumbled 5.4% and the Dow hit a record high. US hiring slowed sharply in June even as the unemployment rate fell. Treasuries rallied, as did gold, after investors scaled back bets on Fed interest-rate increases, though they continued to expect at least one this year.

Our members' clients include companies and labor unions, public and private pension plans, mutual funds and 401Ks, and individuals and families who depend on our firms to help them provide for their retirements, to have funds available to educate their family members, to meet other obligations, and to support their financial aspirations.

These markets allow thousands of organizations and millions of individuals to invest in America, sharing in the success of our nation's businesses and maintaining a stake in the strength of cities, counties, states, and our country.
Our financial markets can only fulfill their highest purposes when they are open, transparent, and provide a level playing field for all market participants, and when they are supported by prudent regulation and strong investor protections. All the Association's efforts are toward these ideals.
