US equity markets relinquished early gains that saw both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq touch fresh record intra-day highs to close out the month, quarter and half with a whimper on Friday (28 June) - Dow slipped -45-points or -0.12%. Nike Inc tumbled -19.98% recording its largest single session percentage decline on record after reporting a disappointing fourth quarter result and cutting full year guidance after the close of the previous session that prompted multiple broker downgrades. Boeing Co (down -.27%) will be charged with fraud by the US Justice Department, according to a Bloomberg report that was published over the weekend. The decision comes after the Justice Department said Boeing violated the terms of a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement in May.
