✍️ From the Conclave

Today's market is being driven by two tectonic events: the historic SpaceX $75B IPO — the largest in history — and accelerating US-Iran peace deal reports that are simultaneously crashing oil, launching airlines, and paradoxically lifting gold as inflation fears persist. The dominant tension for the week ahead is whether the Fed, facing its June 16-17 FOMC meeting with CPI at a 3-year high of 4.2% and PPI surging 6.5% YoY, can thread the needle between hawkish inflation-fighting rhetoric and avoiding a hard landing — and any deviation from a 'steady hold with vigilant tone' will be the primary price-moving catalyst for risk assets through quarter-end.
