US equities kick off June with big gains | Forexlive

It was a great start to the month for North American equity markets:

• S&P 500 +40 points, or 0.96%, to 4230
• Nasdaq Comp +1.3%
• DJIA +0.5%
• Russell 2000 +1.1%
• Toronto TSX Comp +0.5%

For all the talk of recession, the S&P 500 is a wink away from the best levels since August 2022.
