Morning Report 05 Jun 25: Growth concerns weigh on US stocks

US stocks struggled to advance as fresh data pointed to a slowing economy, with sentiment dented by a soft US jobs report that snapped the Dow Jones’ four-day winning streak. Interest rates fell as investors bet on potential Fed rate cuts, fueling a surge in home builder stocks. Meanwhile, DollarTree has warned of a looming profit hit tied to possible Trump tariffs, while Tesla shares declined after weak sales data in Germany and China. In Europe, markets ended higher, with German stocks boosted by a newly announced tax relief package. Closer to home, Aussie shares are expected to open flat, hovering just shy of record highs.
