👀 NVIDIA CEO Cashes Out: $25M in Stock Sales in Just Two Day

Good afternoon and happy Sunday! Here is a quick market rundown and an ‘inside’ peek behind the curtains of what C-Level Execs, Wall St. Hedge Fund Gurus, and politicians are trading right now…!

Market Overview — Week Ending September 5, 2025

• Nasdaq +1.1%, S&P 500 +0.3%, Dow −0.3%, Russell 2000 +1.0%

• Jobs Report Missed: Only +22k new payrolls; unemployment ticked up to 4.3%

• Rate Cut Odds Jump ahead of the Sept 16–17 Fed meeting

• S&P 500 hit a record high Thursday, before giving back ground Friday

What Moved the Markets

Jobs Weakness Sets the Tone
Friday’s labor report showed a major slowdown in hiring, reinforcing expectations that the Fed will cut rates this month. The data sparked a bond rally but weighed on cyclicals, leaving the Dow in the red for the week.

Tech Keeps the Tape Alive
Despite Friday’s dip, growth and mega-cap tech carried the Nasdaq higher, keeping the broader S&P 500 positive overall.

Tariff Jitters to Start the Week
Markets stumbled Tuesday after a court ruling revived uncertainty around Trump-era tariffs. Consumer staples diverged, with PepsiCo rallying on activist headlines while Kraft Heinz slipped.

Why It Matters

• Fed Front & Center: A slowing job market boosts odds of a September cut.

• Breadth Remains Uneven: Gains are concentrated in tech, while industrials and value names lag.

• Volatility Watch: Policy risk + economic softness = choppier trading ahead.

✅ Next Up: All eyes on the Sept 16–17 Fed meeting. Traders are pricing in a likely rate cut—stay tuned for how markets position in the lead-up.

Here’s what moved behind the curtain this week.
