Global equity markets fell broadly in the week ending 5 June 2026, with the MSCI ACWI down 2.2% as three headwinds converged simultaneously: a stronger-than-expected US jobs report that pushed Fed rate hike pricing sharply higher, Broadcom's below-consensus AI chip guidance that rattled the semiconductor complex, and renewed Middle East tensions as ceasefire efforts in Lebanon faltered. Technology and consumer discretionary bore the brunt of the selloff, while energy and financials outperformed. In Europe, defence stocks reversed sharply on de-escalation signals. South Korea was the worst-performing major market, with MSCI Korea down 5.3%, while China proved a rare exception, edging modestly higher.
