NBA Finals Game 3 -- Spurs at Knicks

Monday June 8, 5:30 PM PT. Knicks lead 2-0.
Wemby went 6-21 in Game 1 and the Spurs haven't figured out Brunson yet. Down 0-2 heading to MSG is historically a death sentence. Monday night is essentially a must-win.

Market

Friday Selloff Was the Worst Since April

S&P -2.64%, Nasdaq -4.77%, hot jobs report killed rate cut hopes.
May nonfarm payrolls came in hot, crushing the last hope for a summer rate cut. The Nasdaq lost nearly 5% in a single session. Everything sold off -- growth, value, semis, mag 7. The kind of day that resets sentiment for weeks.

Mag 7

Everyone Bled on Friday

META -5.51%, TSLA -6.56%, AMZN -3.06%, MSFT -2.66%
No safe harbor. AAPL -1.25% was the "winner." GOOGL held up relatively well at -0.98% after its $80B equity offering news. Tesla and Meta took the worst of it.
IPO

SpaceX IPO Thursday -- Biggest in History

SPCX prices June 11, trades June 12 at $135/share, $1.75T valuation.
The roadshow started and demand is 2x oversubscribed. Musk retains 82.4% voting power. Fidelity dropped its minimum to $2K. Morgan Stanley projects $3.4T revenue by 2040. Morningstar says that's fantasy. Both things can be true.

Music

Massive release week -- Taylor Swift for Toy Story 5, Vince Staples goes independent, Olivia Rodrigo album next Friday.
New Release

Taylor Swift Wrote a Song for Toy Story 5

"I Knew It, I Knew You" -- her first new material since The Life of a Showgirl.
Swift penned an original for the Pixar sequel after watching an early cut. Not an album single -- a movie song, which protects her album rollout timeline while staying culturally omnipresent.
Released June 5
Album

Vince Staples -- Cry Baby

His first album as an independent artist, and it sounds like it.
10 tracks of confrontational, genre-blurring commentary. Dropping the label apparently freed him to get weirder. "Blackberry Marmalade" and "White Flag" are the standouts. His sixth studio album.
Singles

Steve Lacy, Tinashe, Joji All Dropped

Summer vibes are stacking up.
Steve Lacy's "This Feeling" is an instant playlist add. Tinashe's "Too Easy" was first teased at Coachella. Joji and Kid Laroi teamed up on "Bluffin." Niall Horan dropped his fourth album "Dinner Party" too. First New Music Friday of June was genuinely stacked.
Upcoming

Olivia Rodrigo Album Drops June 12

You Look Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love.
Next Friday is another blockbuster. The title suggests she's going deeper into the heartbreak lane that made GUTS work. Lands the same day as SpaceX IPO. Mark the calendar.
