A rally in several big techs fueled gains in stocks, with the market extending its advance as President Donald Trump said he reached a trade deal with Vietnam. Treasuries fell as a selloff in UK bonds underscored deficit worries. The dollar was steady.

Following earlier losses driven by weak jobs data, the S&P 500 rose to fresh all-time highs. Nike Inc. climbed alongside other apparel and footwear companies amid hopes the latest US trade deal will avert a potential supply-chain catastrophe. Tech megacaps led gains, with Tesla Inc. jumping 5% as a drop in sales was seen as better than feared. Marvell Technology Inc. slid about 2.5% on a report that Microsoft Corp. is scaling back its ambitions for AI chips to overcome delays.

Longer-dated Treasuries underperformed, following moves in the UK, where concerns about Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves’ future reignited questions over the nation’s fiscal position. Investors have raised similar concerns in the US, where the Senate passed Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill.In the run-up to the jobs report, economists forecast employers added 110,000 jobs in June — the fewest in four months — amid a slight rise in the unemployment rate to 4.3%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics report is due Thursday, a day earlier than usual because of the Independence Day holiday.

Data Wednesday showed employment at US companies fell for the first time in over two years. Despite signs of a downshift, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has repeated the labor market remains solid. Policymakers have refrained from lowering interest rates this year as they wait to see the impact of tariffs on inflation.
