Market Hypoxia: Tech Selloff and the SpaceX Index Gatekeeping

The US labor market remains surprisingly resilient, even as financial systems show signs of altitude sickness. When markets ascend too far too fast, liquidity begins to thin and valuations reach rarefied levels where the smallest shift in expectations can trigger a rapid descent. This state of market hypoxia was visible on Friday as a massive tech selloff collided with new data on US non farm payrolls. While the real economy continues to expand, the gatekeepers of passive index funds are now preparing for one of the most consequential flotations in history: the SpaceX public offering.

The same week, an activist fund went after Australia’s largest gold miner and a US startup said it would drill for lithium under two German and Polish battery factories.

BP Chair Ousted as Europe Logistics Hit by Energy Shock

Energy sits at the front of Friday’s tape. A boardroom shake at BP, fresh European industrial and logistics research flagging an energy price shock feeding into demand, and renewed pressure on Western governments to spell out a transition path.
