- SpaceX's IPO reaches a record valuation of US$1,77 trillion.
- Elon Musk becomes the first trillionaire with a historic debut.
- S&P 500, Bitcoin, and Nasdaq close higher.
SpaceX starred in one of the most anticipated events in the financial markets in 2026 when it debuted on the stock exchange this Friday. The company's shares opened at US$150, above the IPO price set at US$135 per share, demonstrating strong investor demand in the first few minutes of trading.
The initial public offering allowed the company to raise approximately US$75 billion. With its debut exceeding the issue price, SpaceX reached an estimated market valuation of US$1,77 trillion, solidifying its position among the most valuable companies in the world.
The performance also had a direct impact on Elon Musk's fortune. With the company's increased value, the entrepreneur reached an unprecedented milestone in the history of global markets, becoming, on paper, the world's first trillionaire.
The listing comes at a time of expansion for the aerospace company's projects. Among the announced plans is the development of data centers focused on artificial intelligence in orbit, an initiative that seeks to expand computing capacity beyond the limitations of terrestrial infrastructure.
While SpaceX's debut dominated attention on Wall Street, the main US indexes registered consistent gains. The S&P 500 advanced 0,51%, reaching 7.431,77 points. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0,72%, to 51.215,25 points, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0,45%, reaching 25.925,64 points.
Shares of smaller-cap companies also showed positive performance. The Russell 2000 advanced 1,10%, reaching 2.953,13 points. Meanwhile, the VIX volatility index retreated 4,58%, to 18,55 points, signaling reduced caution among investors.
The more favorable sentiment in the markets was driven by signs of diplomatic progress between the United States and Iran. Investors are following reports that the two countries are close to a provisional agreement, a topic that is expected to continue to be discussed in international meetings scheduled for the coming days.
Expectations of easing geopolitical tensions put pressure on the energy market. Crude oil futures for July fell 3,42%, trading at US$84,71 per barrel. The movement occurred after oil hit its lowest levels since March during trading.
Conversely, gold advanced 3,03%, trading at US$4.238,70, reflecting continued demand for assets considered a store of value. In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin registered a 2,33% increase and was trading near US$63.953, following the increased risk appetite observed in global markets.
Another factor contributing to investor optimism was the release of new economic data in the United States. The University of Michigan reported that consumer confidence rose from 44,8 in May to 48,9 in the preliminary June reading. Furthermore, inflation expectations for the next 12 months were at 4,6%, below market projections, reinforcing the perception of a more favorable economic environment for risk assets.
