Crypto markets spent the weekend in the red as hopes for a peace deal between the US and Iran remain fragile.<\/p>\n
US equity market futures have opened lower as investors await details of US-Iran talks in Switzerland, according to the Kobeissi Letter.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, President Trump has ramped up the rhetoric again, posting<\/a> on Truth Social on Sunday:<\/p>\n \u201cIran must immediately stop their highly paid proxies in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don\u2019t, we\u2019ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!\u201d<\/p>\n The week kicks off with June\u2019s S&P Global PMI data on Tuesday, and May\u2019s new home sales figures are out on Wednesday.<\/p>\n However, all eyes are on the May Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) report, the Federal Reserve\u2019s preferred inflation measure, due on Thursday.<\/p>\n The data follows last week\u2019s FOMC meeting, where policymakers held interest rates steady while signaling a more inflation-focused monetary policy stance.<\/p>\n If PCE comes in hotter than expected, which is likely given that energy prices are rising, markets could price in fewer rate cuts, and risk assets may face pressure.<\/p>\n \u201cThe June FOMC meeting, with half of the committee leaning toward a tighter policy path, sent a hawkish jolt through markets,\u201d said<\/a> Bloomberg analysts.<\/p>\n \u201cEven though Warsh didn\u2019t submit his own dot for the dot plot, his tone at the news conference seemed notably hawkish to us. A hot PCE inflation reading will likely reinforce that hawkish message.\u201d<\/p>\n The current odds for a rate hike at the Fed\u2019s next meeting in late July are around 40%, according<\/a> to the CME Fed Watch tool.<\/p>\n More economic data follows on Thursday with the US first-quarter GDP report, shedding light on the rate of economic growth.<\/p>\n June\u2019s Michigan consumer sentiment data and inflation expectations data are due out on Friday, rounding off a busy week for economic reports.<\/p>\n Key Events This Week:<\/p>\n 1.
