FOMC Incoming!
Hey,
Key Weekly Performance Stats:
- S&P 500: -0.39%
- Nasdaq 100: -0.60%Â
- Russel 2000: -1.56%
- Bitcoin: +1.65%
Last week, the stock market opened on a positive note, boosted by optimism over U.S.-China trade talks and a strong May jobs report. The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all posted modest gains early in the week. But sentiment shifted sharply on June 13, when Iran retaliated against Israeli airstrikes. The geopolitical escalation sent oil prices surging and triggered a broad market selloff. The Dow lost 770 points on Friday alone, ending the week down 1.3%. The S&P 500 slipped 0.4%, while the Nasdaq declined 0.6%.
On the economic front, inflation data pointed to easing price pressures. The May Consumer Price Index (CPI), released on June 11, rose 2.4% year-over-year—slightly above April’s 2.3% but below forecasts. Core CPI came in at 2.8%, also under expectations. The next day, the Producer Price Index (PPI) rose just 0.1% month-over-month, undershooting the 0.2% estimate. Meanwhile, progress in U.S.-China trade negotiations appeared to stall, tempering investor optimism.
Looking ahead to next week, all eyes will be on the Federal Reserve. The FOMC meets June 17–18, and markets are watching closely for any changes to interest rate policy or forward guidance. Key economic reports, including retail sales and industrial production on June 17, will offer more clarity on consumer and manufacturing trends. Developments in the Middle East and any movement in U.S.-China trade talks will also remain in focus. As always, stick to your trading plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.
Best,
Thicc Kohrs
