Morning Report 21 May 25: S&P 500 snaps six-day winning run

Wall Street snapped a six-day winning streak as investors searched for fresh catalysts to drive momentum. Technology stocks led the decline, weighed down by rising bond yields, which edged higher amid ongoing fiscal concerns in the U.S. In corporate news, Home Depot said it doesn’t expect to raise prices in response to new tariffs, while Elon Musk confirmed Tesla’s plans for a robo-taxi rollout—though the announcement lifted shares only modestly. Meanwhile, Moderna saw its stock jump on stronger-than-expected COVID-related guidance. In commodities, oil prices slipped slightly due to geopolitical uncertainty, while gold prices firmed as the U.S. dollar continued to weaken. Closer to home, Aussie shares are set to open higher on Wednesday following the Reserve Bank’s decision to cut interest rates to a two-year low.
