Wall Street entered June following a powerful monthly rally led by technology stocks. The Nasdaq Composite surged more than 8% in May, outperforming other major indexes.

The S&P 500 advanced roughly 5% during the month, while the Dow gained nearly 3%.

Oil prices moved higher after pulling back late last week. U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude rose 1.8% to just below $89 a barrel, while Brent crude gained 1.5% to around $92.

Despite the rebound, WTI recorded its biggest monthly decline since April 2025, falling nearly 17% in May. Investors are now looking ahead to Friday’s non-farm payrolls report, one of the week’s key economic indicators.
