Shares of cloud computing and online retail behemoth Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN)
jumped 2.7% in the afternoon session after the major indices rebounded, as the Bureau of Labor Statistics report revealed a resilient labor market with non-farm payrolls rising by 139,000 in May 2025, significantly above the consensus forecast of 125,000.

The data also supports the soft landing narrative, where the Fed can manage inflation toward its 2% target without significant damage to the economy.
