S&P 500 Ends June 1 at Record 7,599.96 While Bitcoin Starts Month Below $72,000

On June 1, the S&P 500 rose 0.26% to a record close of 7,599.96 as tech shares—led by Nvidia—pushed major U.S. indexes to fresh highs. Over the same period, bitcoin started June below $72,000 after posting its third negative monthly close of 2026 and following $2.43 billion in May U.S. spot ETF outflows. The split highlights a widening gap between equities at records and crypto lagging behind the risk-on rally.
