🧭 Market Outlook
Tonight’s US June NFP at 20:30 is the week’s biggest catalyst — consensus expects 110K vs May’s 172K, with unemployment steady at 4.3%.
Iran’s 58M-barrel floating storage is a sword of Damocles over crude prices; any sanctions relief could trigger aggressive selling.
A-share chip selloff coinciding with Burry’s AI short push creates a negative sentiment loop, though watch for fundamental catalysts near support levels.
