A chip rout, a bounce, the summer's wildest open, and NVDA's Friday, netting out to a quiet index week where most stocks fell and MU out-traded SPY itself.
NVDA woke up and led the whole tape a day after sitting out. META doubled down, MU cooled, small caps slipped, and the index barely moved. Friday in numbers.
How many IPOs priced in the first half of 2026, what listed (operating companies, blank-check units, ADRs), and how the class trades against its offer prices.
Chip equipment gapped up hard and faded, mega-caps gapped down and ripped back, the tape flipped decisively green, and NVDA sat it out, closing red.
A one-day chip bounce the index barely felt: most semis green, NVDA up a second day, MU the heaviest dollar name, and a broad tape more than two-to-one red.
A semiconductor break the index barely felt: chips down hard, NVDA green through it, a two-to-one red tape, and SPY quoting its tightest spread in a month.
Back from the Independence Day break: a growth-led gap up, a sector split several times the index move, a reverse-split wall, the month's tightest quotes.
June 2026 in numbers: SPY -1.2% while small caps rose, more decliners than advancers, and one chip maker out-trading every ETF on the tape.
Four sessions and a Friday holiday: SPY rose 2.2%, breadth ran positive, one chip maker out-traded every ETF, and the quarter turned with a filing-day gap.
H1 2026 in numbers: a down Q1, a 14.1% SPY recovery quarter, small caps' best first half on record, the full yield curve, and eleven sectors ranked.
Q2 2026: every index ETF up double digits, QQQ 26.5%, after a negative Q1, a flattening curve, and a quarter-end filing-day gap in the data.
Holiday-eve rotation: green breadth under a falling Nasdaq, tech last of the eleven sector funds, memory-rout day two, and the split that faked a crash.
The second half opened quiet at the index and violent underneath: the memory complex broke, META jumped, and most S&P sectors still closed green.
The quarter's last session in numbers: a technology-led index gain over a mostly red tape, the memory complex on top, and a same-day options tape at the close.
June 29, 2026 in numbers: a growth-led index gain, a four-point sector spread, a memory-stock round trip, the 0DTE tape, penny-tight quotes and rates.
