Stock Market Update Friday May 31, 2024 Equities closed out the month with a dramatic flourish, as a late-session surge propelled the S&P 500 from negative territory to a nearly 1% gain on the day, driving May's total advance beyond 5%.
Away From Stocks: Treasuries experienced moderate buying interest across the curve, leading to a decline in yields, with the 2-year and 30-year benchmarks falling by three and four basis points to 4.89% and 4.65%, respectively. Meanwhile, WTI crude oil retreated to $77 per barrel, gold dipped to $2,328 per ounce, and Bitcoin edged slightly lower to $67,600. Notably, the VIX volatility index tumbled below 13 from 14.5 on Thursday, potentially foreshadowing the afternoon surge in equities that followed a notably weak open.
