SPX reaches new highs on mechanical flows, Craig Shapiro notes
SPX hits highs, macro risks grow

Craig Shapiro highlights recent market dynamics in a morning briefing on Wednesday, June 3, 2026. According to Shapiro, the SPX index has extended its nine-day win streak to all-time highs, which he attributes to mechanical flows rather than indicating a strong bull market. He adds that macroeconomic pressures have increased significantly overnight. Additionally, Brent crude surpassed $98, and active U.S.-Iran exchanges were noted.

In recent sessions, Shapiro noted that ES traded flat as technology shares led gains while overall market breadth weakened, with consumer discretionary stocks lagging earlier in the week. He also observed a defensive rotation as energy shares dropped 4.41 percent and consumer stocks outperformed in prior trading. These trends preceded Wednesday’s rally extension and rising macroeconomic pressures.
