Claudia Sahm views the May jobs report as solid, with strong job growth but moderate wage growth that limits inflationary pressure. She believes the labor market is stabilizing and that the Fed should not be overly concerned about inflation from this data, though negative real wages pose a hardship for workers.

AI hype supports mega-caps but breadth is weak. Sentiment has room to stretch higher, and earnings support is broad. However, concentration risk remains.
rut
Diversification is recommended, and some mutual funds are outperforming mega-caps, suggesting potential for small-cap catch-up if breadth improves.
Christina Campanny sees bonds as repricing higher after strong jobs data, with the 10-year testing 4.52%. She notes markets have flipped from pricing Fed easing to hiking, but conviction is low. She sees value in front-end US rates and prefers US credit over Europe, with shorter higher-quality paper.

yields
We've seen a reprice across the front end. We keep chopping in ranges. Once we've tested those levels, we'll probably repush them.
