On Friday, June 12, 2026, SpaceX (Nasdaq: SPCX) made history with the largest IPO ever. Priced at $135 per share, the offering raised a record $75 billion. The stock opened around $150, surged to an intraday high of $176.52 (nearly +30.8% from the IPO price), and closed at $160.95, up approximately 19% on the day.
The debut instantly valued SpaceX above $2.1 trillion, making it one of the world’s most valuable public companies and propelling Elon Musk to become the first person in history with a net worth exceeding $1 trillion.
A Market Moment That Moves Everything
This wasn’t just another listing — it was a powerful signal of capital flowing into ambitious, technology-driven growth stories (space infrastructure, Starlink connectivity, and even future orbital AI data centers).
Global risk sentiment lifted. Major U.S. indices closed higher, with noticeable strength in tech and semiconductor names. Tesla shares also edged up modestly (benefiting from its own stake in SpaceX), while some smaller space-related names saw profit-taking or rotation as capital concentrated around the clear sector leader.
For FX and broader market traders, these events matter. Big tech/IPO pops often strengthen risk-on flows, influence USD pairs, commodity currencies, and volatility across emerging markets, exactly the kind of interconnected moves our community watches closely.
