Markets fall on escalating Israel-Iran war and Fed #Tariffs concerns…
⚔️ Israel-Iran war. Middle East tensions continued to escalate throughout the week. There was talks of Iran seeking a ceasefire earlier, but that apparently didn’t go anywhere. Crude oil rebounded early in the week, but ended higher amid the ongoing conflict.
⏸️ Fed remains on pause. As expected, the Fed held rates flat at the June meeting as well as still forecasting two #RateCuts later this year. Investors came away disappointed though as the Fed warned economic headwinds still incoming despite recent stable #Inflation progress.
📉 US involvement? Markets finished the shortened Juneteenth holiday week on a sour note with the S&P 500 ending down -0.2%. The Fed’s lack of urgency for #RateCuts and potential US involvement in the Middle East conflict weighed on investor sentiment.
