What’s Next for US Stocks in June? Analyst Insights Summary: Increased Short-Term Volatility, Long-Term Still Promising

On June 11, US stocks experienced a brief rally at the beginning of June but have since declined, with the S&P 500 index falling nearly 5% since reaching a high of 7620 on the 2nd. Amid ongoing market corrections, investors are beginning to waver in their belief in the 'eternal bull market' of US stocks. In light of this, here are the analyst perspectives on the June market compiled by BlockBeats: The well-known research program Foundation for the Study of Cycles (FSC) pointed out in its latest podcast that as of around June 8, 2026, several medium to short-term cycles of major US stock indices are highly synchronized, forming a top cluster. We are currently in a significant top alignment window, indicating that starting from June, there will be downward pressure from late summer to autumn (until October-November), particularly in the technology and semiconductor sectors, which are showing the strongest synchronization. There is also a technical divergence in the Cyclic RSI, leading to an overall recommendation to remain cautious in the short term, as there may be fluctuations or corrections; however, the financial sector is one of the few that still maintains a bullish cycle. Morgan Stanley published a mid-term market report in mid-May, stating that driven by strong earnings growth, the US stock market is expected to lead global markets upward, with the S&P 500 index likely to rise by 12% over the next 12 months. However, the report also cautioned that as companies raise more debt for artificial intelligence expenditures, the increased supply in the corporate bond market may put pressure on credit performance. At the same time, expectations of slowing inflation and declining US interest rates will put pressure on the dollar in the coming months, but recovery may begin in 2027. Fidelity's research noted that recent geopolitical conflicts, rising oil prices, and hotter-than-expected inflation data have led to rising yields, triggering a pullback in technology stocks and indices. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq have seen significant declines, with the semiconductor and AI-related sectors under pressure. The VIX volatility index has risen, and considering the historical performance of US stocks in June has been lackluster, the current situation can still be viewed as normal profit-taking or seasonal adjustment. Notable US stock influencer Herman Jin continues to warn about the low PE bubble risk in the semiconductor sector during the AI bull market. He cautioned that the current market's optimistic pricing of model revenues matching capital expenditures is unrealistic, and short-term diversified models may erode growth expectations, ultimately reshaping the industry through cost pressures and exacerbating wealth concentration.

  • Apple Plunges Nearly 10%, Q4 Revenue Guidance Misses Expectations

    On July 31, Apple (AAPL.US) plunged nearly 10% to $300.33, marking its biggest drop since April 2025. In terms of fundamentals, Apple's third-fiscal-quarter revenue rose approximately 16% year-over-year to $109.42 billion, slightly above analyst expectations. Among the details, product revenue came in at $78.68 billion, beating the expected $77.25 billion.

Additionally, Greater China revenue reached $18.82 billion, with year-over-year growth slowing to 22%, also below analysts' forecast of $19.58 billion.

CFO Parekh noted that component supply constraints would impact iPhone, Mac, and iPad businesses in the fourth fiscal quarter, with currency fluctuations also constraining growth.
  • Three Fed Officials Back Rate Hike, Hawkish Pressure Builds

    On July 31, three Federal Reserve policymakers said that dissenting votes in favor of a rate hike this week stemmed from stubborn inflationary pressures, highlighting rising internal pressure on Fed Chair Warsh to act. In statements released Friday morning, Hammack and Kashkari said they worry that although the current round of price increases may stem from short-term factors such as President Trump's tariff policies and the Iran war, the inflation situation already warrants Fed action. Logan also joined in, saying that even if inflation cools, if the Fed does not raise rates, inflation is unlikely to fully fall back to the Fed's 2% target; without any policy constraints, inflation could continue to run above target until an unexpected shock occurs. Kashkari said that if inflation remains persistently stubborn, he might support a series of rate hikes, not just a single increase, to prevent inflation from becoming further entrenched. He said: "A series of small policy adjustments may be preferable to waiting for developments to unfold and ultimately having to take more forceful action." Hammack said that if the Fed does not tighten policy, price increases could continue to accelerate. She said: "Inflation has been stubbornly above 2% for more than five years, and I have no confidence that it will return to our target on its own." (Jin Shi)
