Fed, Oil Prices, and SpaceX Draw Attention Prior to Tuesday’s Open

Fed, Oil Prices, and SpaceX Draw Attention Prior to Tuesday’s Open

U.S. stocks look a bit steadier heading into Tuesday’s June 16 open, but caution is still the mood. The S&P 500 ended Friday at 7,431.46, up 0.50%. The Dow closed at 51,202.26 for a 0.70% gain. The Nasdaq added 0.31% to 25,888.84. Those gains helped after the market’s recent swings. Two main worries stay in play: higher oil prices and what the incoming Fed leadership might do. Brent crude traded at $86.80. The 10-year Treasury yield was near 4.48%, Reuters market data showed. Both will matter for where stocks go next.

Redwire Drops After SpaceX Listing, Investors Eye Dilution

Redwire Drops After SpaceX Listing, Investors Eye Dilution

Redwire Corporation shares fell on Friday, with investors backing away from smaller space stocks after SpaceX’s market debut drew fresh attention. RDW was last at $15.12, down $1.98 or 11.6%. More than 64 million shares traded so far, with the session range between $14.75 and $18.45. The drop stands out since Redwire had been running higher in a broad speculative move in space stocks. Sector shifts like this can squeeze valuations even if the company’s long-term outlook doesn’t change.

Intuitive Machines Stock Rebounds as SpaceX IPO Buzz Tests LUNR’s Valuation

AST SpaceMobile Stock Jumps Before June 17 BlueBird Launch as SpaceX IPO Tests Space Trade

AST SpaceMobile stock is back in focus after a sharp rebound ahead of Friday’s expected SpaceX market debut and the company’s next satellite launch. ASTS closed Thursday at $97.56, up 11.73%, according to market data, reversing part of a volatile stretch that included a 3.6% drop on Tuesday after an early rally faded. The move matters because investors are treating AST not just as a telecom stock, but as a direct-to-device satellite broadband play, a business model in which satellites connect directly to ordinary smartphones without a special handset or satellite terminal.

SpaceX IPO Today: 5 Things to Know Before Buying SPCX Stock

SpaceX’s initial public offering — an IPO, or the first sale of a company’s shares to public investors — is set to become today’s dominant market event. The company confirmed it priced 555,555,555 Class A shares at $135 each, with trading expected on the Nasdaq Global Select Market and Nasdaq Texas under SPCX, and Reuters reported that the sale raised $75 billion and valued SpaceX at $1.77 trillion. For stock buyers, the key point is that $135 is the offering price, not necessarily the price retail investors will pay once Nasdaq’s opening auction sets the first tradable price.
