The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) Tuesday closed down -0.11%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up +0.91%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed down -0.89%. September E-mini S&P futures (ESU25) are down -0.12%, and September E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQU25) are down -0.91%.
Stock indexes on Tuesday settled mixed, with the Dow Jones Industrials posting a 4-1/2 month high. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 moved lower Tuesday and consolidated below Monday’s all-time highs. Tesla closed down more than -5% to lead technology stocks lower and weigh on the overall market after President Trump threatened to withdraw subsidies from Elon Musk’s companies in response to Musk’s criticism of the Republican reconciliation bill. The markets are also monitoring progress on trade talks ahead of President Trump’s July 9 deadline, as well as congressional wrangling over the passage of President Trump’s tax and spending bill.

The Senate passed the Republican reconciliation bill on Tuesday by a 51-50 vote. The bill now goes to the House, where it will be voted on sometime this week. Speaker Johnson said the House “will work quickly” to pass the bill by July 4. The reconciliation bill has the debt ceiling hike that is necessary to avert a Treasury default when the Treasury runs out of borrowing authority sometime between mid-August and late September. The dollar index fell to a 3-1/3 year low Tuesday as the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that the bill would add nearly $3.3 trillion to US budget deficits over the next decade.
Stocks remained lower Tuesday after the better-than-expected US ISM and JOLTS reports pushed bond yields higher and dampened expectations of imminent Fed rate cuts. Also, Fed Chair Powell reiterated his wait-and-see stance on interest rates as he expects tariffs to show up in inflation data over the coming months.
The US June ISM manufacturing index rose +0.5 to 49.0, stronger than expectations of 48.8. Also, the June ISM prices paid sub-index rose +0.3 to 69.7, stronger than expectations of 69.5.
US May JOLTS job openings unexpectedly rose +374,000 to a 6-month high of 7.769 million, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of a decline to 7.300 million.
Fed Chair Powell said he expects the impacts of tariffs to show up in inflation data over the coming months, but the impact could be “higher or lower, or later or sooner than we expected.”
Better-than-expected manufacturing news from China is supportive of global economic growth prospects. The China June Caixin manufacturing PMI rose +2.1 to 50.4, stronger than expectations of 49.3.
On the negative side for stocks is the upcoming earnings season, which begins next week. Bloomberg Intelligence data show that the consensus for Q2 earnings of S&P 500 companies is for a rise of +2.8% year-over-year, the smallest increase in two years. Also, only six of the 11 S&P 500 sectors are projected to post an increase in earnings, the fewest since Q1 of 2023, according to Yardeni Research.
During this holiday-shortened week, the markets will look for additional trade and tariff news along with progress in the passage of President Trump’s tax bill. On Wednesday, the June ADP employment change is expected to rise by +90,000. On Thursday, Jun nonfarm payrolls are expected to climb by +113,000, and the June employment rate is expected to tick up +0.1 to 4.3%. Also, June average hourly earnings are expected to rise +0.3% m/m and +3.8% y/y. In addition, weekly initial unemployment claims are expected to climb +5,000 to 241,000, and May factory orders are expected to jump +8.1% m/m. Finally, the Jun ISM services index is expected to climb +0.7 to 50.6.
Federal funds futures prices are discounting the chances at 21% for a -25 bp rate cut at the July 29-30 FOMC meeting.
Overseas stock markets on Tuesday settled mixed. The Euro Stoxx 50 closed down -0.39%. China’s Shanghai Composite closed up +0.39%. Japan’s Nikkei Stock 225 closed down -1.24%.
Interest Rates
September 10-year T-notes (ZNU25) Tuesday closed down by -8.5 ticks. The 10-year T-note yield rose +2.0 bp to 4.248%. Sep T-notes fell from a 2-month high Tuesday and turned lower, and the 10-year T-note yield rebounded from a 2-month low of 4.185% and turned higher.
Speculation that Congress is close to passing President Trump’s tax and spending bill has sparked some weakness in T-note prices. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the bill would add nearly $3.3 trillion to US deficits over the next decade, which would boost Treasury security sales to fund the deficits. Losses in T-notes accelerated Tuesday after the stronger-than-expected ISM and JOLTS reports were hawkish for Fed policy.
T-note prices initially moved higher on Tuesday due to carryover support from strength in European government bonds. T-notes were also boosted as positive trade news has bolstered hopes for smaller-than-expected tariffs, which would soften the inflation outlook.
European government bond yields on Tuesday moved lower. The 10-year German bund yield fell -3.3 bp to 2.574%. The 10-year UK gilt yield dropped to an 8-week low of 4.417% and finished down -3.5 bp to 4.454%.
The Eurozone June CPI edged up to +2.0% y/y from +1.9% y/y in May, right on expectations. The June core CPI was unchanged from May at +2.3% y/y, right on expectations.
The ECB May 1-year CPI inflation expectations unexpectedly eased to +2.8% from +3.1% in Apr, versus expectations of no change at +3.1%. The May 3-year CPI expectations unexpectedly eased to +2.4% from +2.5% in Apr versus expectations of no change at +2.5%.
The Eurozone June manufacturing PMI was revised upward by +0.1 to 49.5 from the previously reported 49.4.
The German June unemployment change rose +11,000, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of +15,000. The Jun unemployment rate was unchanged at 6.3%, showing a stronger labor market than expectations of an increase to 6.4%.
ECB Governing Council member Kazaks said, “If the euro were to significantly appreciate further, it could weigh down on inflation and exports, which could tilt the balance toward another ECB interest rate cut.”
Swaps are discounting the chances at 6% for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at the July 24 policy meeting.
US Stock Movers
Tesla (TSLA) closed down more than -5% as President Trump threatened to withdraw government subsidies from Elon Musk’s companies after Musk criticized the Republicans’ reconciliation bill. Analysts estimate that changes to regulatory credits could threaten up to 40% of Tesla’s profits.
Weakness in chip stocks is a negative factor for the overall market. Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) closed down more than -4%, and Broadcom (AVGO) and ARM Holdings Plc (ARM) closed down more than -3%. Also, Nvidia (NVDA) closed down more than -2% to lead losers in the Dow Jones Industrials. In addition, Marvell Technology (MRVL), Micron Technology (MU), and ASML Holding NV (ASML) closed down more than -1%.
Makers of glucose monitors and insulin pumps retreated Tuesday after the US government proposed a payment scheduling change for diabetes devices as well as a competitive bidding program. As a result, Tandem Diabetes Care (TNDM) closed down more than -7%, and Insulet (PODD) and Dexcom (DXCM) closed down more than -4%.
Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) closed down more than -4% after holder Advance/Newhouse planned to sell as much as $1.1 billion of its holdings in WBD via an overnight unregistered block trade.

As a result, Las Vegas Sands (LVS) closed up more than +8% to lead gainers in the S&P 500. Also, Wynn Resorts Ltd. (WYNN) closed up more than +8% and MGM Resorts International (MGM) closed up more than +7%.

10 Under-the-Radar Healthcare Stocks With Incredible Growth Potential

Investors in Insulet Corp (Symbol: PODD) saw new options become available this week, for the August 15th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the PODD options chain for the new August 15th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $300.00 strike price has a current bid of $15.10. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $300.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $284.90 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of PODD, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $303.83/share today.
Because the $300.00 strike represents an approximate 1% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 58%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 5.03% return on the cash commitment, or 32.81% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Insulet Corp, and highlighting in green where the $300.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $310.00 strike price has a current bid of $16.00. If an investor was to purchase shares of PODD stock at the current price level of $303.83/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $310.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 7.30% if the stock gets called away at the August 15th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if PODD shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Insulet Corp, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing PODD's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $310.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $310.00 strike represents an approximate 2% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 50%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 5.27% boost of extra return to the investor, or 34.32% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example, as well as the call contract example, are both approximately 45%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $303.83) to be 38%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

Our Take on PODD’s Q1 Results
Insulet exited the first quarter of 2025 on a solid note, with both earnings and revenues beating estimates. New customer starts increased on both a year-over-year and a sequential basis in the United States and internationally. U.S. Omnipod revenue growth was driven by strong commercial execution with growing demand for Omnipod 5. Furthermore, expansion of both margins is highly promising. The upbeat revenue guidance for 2025 also bodes well for the stock.
In the United States, Insulet witnessed robust adoption of Omnipod 5 with Dexcom's G7 and early traction with Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 2 Plus sensors. During the quarter, the company launched Omnipod 5 in Australia, Belgium, Canada and Switzerland, marking nine new countries where Omnipod 5 has become available since the start of the year and 14 overall globally.

Insulet Q1 Earnings Top Estimates, Stock Up, 2025 Sales View Raised

PODD Quantitative Stock Analysis

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) Friday closed down -0.07%, the Dow Jones Industrials Index ($DOWI) (DIA) closed down -0.29%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed down -0.01%. June E-mini S&P futures (ESM25) are down -0.07%, and June E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQM25) are down -0.01%.
Stock indexes on Friday settled slightly lower as the market traded cautiously ahead of weekend trade talks between the US and China. Comments on social media from President Trump weighed on stocks Friday when he said an 80% tariff on China “seems right” and that the right level of tariff on China would be up to Treasury Secretary Bessent. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, the average company in the S&P 500 made 6.1% of its revenue from selling goods in China or to Chinese companies in 2024.

Also, comments from New York Fed President Williams undercut stocks on Friday when he said he expects economic growth in the US this year to be “considerably slower” than in 2024, and he anticipates higher inflation and unemployment.
Stocks on Friday initially extended Thursday’s gains after President Trump announced a framework trade deal with the UK, although there are still details to work out. The announcement raised hopes that President Trump’s tariffs will be negotiated down, averting lasting damage to economic growth and corporate profits.
Earnings results Friday were mixed for stocks. On the positive side, Microchip Technology rose more than +12% to lead chip stocks higher after reporting better-than-expected Q4 net sales and forecasting Q1 net sales above consensus. Also, Lyft soared more than +28% after forecasting Q2 gross bookings above consensus. In addition, Insulet surged more than +20% after reporting stronger-than-expected Q1 revenue and raised its full-year revenue forecast. On the negative side, Akamai Technologies closed down more than -10% after forecasting full-year adjusted EPS below consensus. Also, Expedia Group fell more than -7% after reporting weaker-than-expected Q1 revenue and cutting its 2025 revenue forecast.
T-note prices found support Friday on comments from Japanese Finance Minister Kato, who said the Japanese government is not considering the sale of US Treasury securities as part of its trade negotiation with the US. According to US Treasury data, Japan held $1.13 trillion in Treasury securities at the end of February, making it the biggest foreign holder of US debt. If Japan were to start aggressively selling Treasury securities, there could be an upward spike in Treasury yields that would damage the US economy and perhaps cause a systemic crisis for the US financial system.
Comments Friday from Fed Governor Kugler were bearish for stocks and bonds when she said the Fed should hold interest rates steady for now, citing a stable US economy and uncertainty around President Trump’s tariffs policy.

According to data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence, the market consensus is for Q1 year-over-year earnings growth of +6.7% for the S&P 500 stocks, down from expectations of +11.1% in early November. So far, of the 412 companies in the S&P 500 companies that have reported quarterly results, 78% have beaten estimates. Full-year 2025 corporate profits for the S&P 500 are seen rising +9.4%, down from the forecast of +12.5% in early January.

June T-notes Friday settled slightly higher, and the 10-year T-note yield fell from a 2-1/2 week high of 4.396%.

Also, comments from New York Fed President Williams supported T-notes when he said he expects economic growth in the US this year to be “considerably slower” than in 2024. In addition, short covering supported T-notes as bond dealers lifted short hedges they put on against this week’s $125 billion quarterly refunding.
T-note prices were undercut by negative carryover from weakness in European government bond prices. T-note prices are also being undercut by easing global trade tensions. In addition, hawkish comments from Fed Governor Kugler were negative for T-note prices when she said the Fed should hold interest rates steady for now. Finally, an increase in inflation expectations was bearish for T-notes as the 10-year breakeven inflation rate rose to a 5-week high Friday of 2.323%.
European government bond yields Friday moved higher. The 10-year German bund yield rose to a 4-week high of 2.588% and finished up +2.7 bp to 2.562%. The 10-year UK gilt yield climbed to a 2-1/2 week high of 4.603% and finished up +2.1 bp to 4.567%.

ECB Governing Council member Rehn said the ECB should cut interest rates next month if its new financial forecasts confirm an outlook of disinflation and waning growth momentum.
Swaps are discounting the chances at 93% for a -25 bp rate cut by the ECB at the June 5 policy meeting.
