Stocks rose on the last trading day of the second quarter, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 hitting one-week highs, as signs of economic resilience and strong earnings expectations lifted investor sentiment. The May JOLTS job openings unexpectedly increased by 9,000 to a two-year high of 7.594 million, while the April S&P Cotality composite-20 home price index rose 1.14% year-over-year, both exceeding forecasts. Technology and AI infrastructure stocks led gains, with SanDisk, KLA Corp, and Marvell Technology up more than 6%, and Bloomberg Intelligence forecasts suggesting second-quarter earnings may rise 23%, driven largely by AI spending. In China, the June manufacturing PMI rose to 50.3 and the non-manufacturing PMI unexpectedly edged up to 50.2, supporting global growth prospects. WTI crude oil added to Monday's 2% surge amid Middle East tensions, as Iran asserted control over Strait of Hormuz traffic ahead of expected US-Iran negotiations in Doha.
