Contributing to market apprehensions, the U.S. manufacturing sector displayed signs of weakening; the ISM manufacturing index fell to 48.7 in May, hinting at a contraction as readings below 50 suggest a shrinkage in the sector. This news sent Treasury yields and the dollar lower, particularly affecting cyclical stocks like those in the energy, industrial, and materials sectors, which are closely linked to economic performance.

As June begins, the market is poised for more economic indicators, with investors keenly awaiting private payroll data from ADP on Thursday, which will precede the critical jobs report for May, due on Friday.
