Inflation Eases but War Clouds—Staying on the Sidelines
June 17, 2025 - Update
Macro
A new war has started in the Middle East. This is tragic and adds market risk. Headlines will likely steer prices for now.
Inflation came in a bit lower than expected. Tariff effects are still ahead, and oil could rise if the conflict drags on. The Fed will likely wait for clearer data before cutting rates.
The 10-year Treasury yield ticked up to 4.45 %. Watch it closely.
Tariffs already showed how fast shocks can hit markets. We may see similar swings again.
