Despite the overall uptick in agriculture stocks, Bayer AG (ETR: BAYN) declined by 2.95% to €26.20, while Kubota Corp (TYO: 6326) slipped 2.05%. No major developments were disclosed during the week for either company. Edible Garden (NASDAQ: EDBL) remained volatile, with performance data not reported.
Market Context: Strong Economic Data Lifts Sentiment
Positive momentum in agriculture stocks coincided with broader equity market gains. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite each rose by 0.8% and 1%, respectively, setting fresh record highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added nearly 350 points (+0.8%), capping off a holiday-shortened trading week.
Labor Department data showed 147,000 new jobs in June, outperforming the forecast of 110,000. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, supporting views of a resilient economy. However, the stronger-than-expected report also lowered expectations for imminent interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
