Highlights<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Global markets faced mixed performance over the past week, shaped by rising geopolitical tensions and shifting economic signals. Oil prices rallied for a third consecutive week, with WTI crude briefly spiking above $78 per barrel following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites, before settling lower amid confidence in OPEC+ spare capacity. Equity markets reflected this uncertainty: the S&P 500 slipped about 0.15%, the Nasdaq declined by 0.02%, while the Dow Jones posted a modest gain. European and Asian indices were also mixed, with Japan\u2019s Nikkei retreating after core inflation came in hotter than expected. Bond markets held steady, with U.S. 10-year Treasury yields hovering around 4.37% and Japan maintaining stable government bond yields despite inflation pressure. In Australia, the ASX dipped slightly due to energy-driven inflation concerns, while Indian markets saw sharper losses amid crude volatility. The U.S. dollar strengthened on safe-haven demand. Looking ahead, markets are eyeing Fed Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s upcoming testimony, fresh PCE inflation data, and further developments in U.S.\u2013EU trade talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data Highlights<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

U.S. retail sales grew by 3.3% year-over-year in May, falling short of the 4.9% expected by analysts. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged at 4.5%, aligning with market expectations. In the U.K., the Consumer Price Index rose 3.4% YoY, also matching forecasts. The Eurozone reported a 1.9% increase in consumer prices over the same period. In Japan, the central bank maintained its interest rate at 0.5% as expected, while core inflation came in slightly higher than anticipated at 3.7% YoY versus a 3.6% forecast. Meanwhile, Australia’s unemployment rate remained stable at 4.1%, in line with projections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
