JOLTS Crushes, Labor Week Begins

• Up 4.6% MoM — highest level in nearly 2 years; labor demand "firm" not "softening"

• ADP tomorrow, NFP Friday consensus +100K with 4.3% unemployment steady
• Strong labor data raises Fed hike odds for mid-June meeting per Motley Fool framing
• Layoffs historically low; hiring modest — Goldilocks labor backdrop still intact for risk

Marvell's "Next Trillion-Dollar" Anointment

• HPE +19% on Q1 beat + raised guide — second AI-cycle earnings winner in 2 sessions
• GOOGL -4% on $80B stock sale plan to fund AI buildout — dilution beats demand worry

• S&P 7,609.78, Nasdaq 27,093.90, Dow 51,307.79 — first S&P close above 7,600
• JOLTS 7.6M crushed 6.89M est; ADP tomorrow, NFP Friday (+100K consensus, 4.3% UE)
• Marvell +33% on Jensen's "next trillion-dollar" call; HPE +19% on beat-and-raise
• GOOGL -4% on $80B stock sale plan to fund AI — first capex-funding crack in mega-cap tech
• Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire announced; US-Iran talks "at rapid pace"; oil up to ~$93.51 anyway

The Bottom Line

The tape is still climbing the wall. 5 straight days of records plus a hot JOLTS plus Marvell joining the $T-track means the AI capex flywheel keeps adding companies. The first crack is GOOGL down 4% on a $80B stock sale — the market is starting to price the cost of the AI buildout, not just the demand. NFP Friday is the next gate; if labor stays firm, Warsh's first FOMC mid-June gets that much harder.
