Market environment
• In June, risky assets rebounded—particularly in the US—despite mixed economic indicators and persistent geopolitical tensions.• Tensions with Iran briefly pushed oil prices higher, but equity markets remained resilient, focusing instead on US budgetary and trade deals. • Wall Street outperformed other developed markets, driven by the technology sector, but was ultimately outpaced by emerging markets, which benefited from a weaker dollar. • Ongoing concerns over the US deficit, declining consumption, repatriation flows from foreign investors, and increased currency hedging continued to weigh on the dollar. • On the interest rate front, US Treasury yields declined across the curve, while German yields rose following the adoption of a record investment plan aimed at revitalizing Europe’s largest economy. • The Fed kept rates unchanged but revised its inflation forecasts upward, while the ECB eased monetary policy by 25 basis points but remained vigilant regarding inflationary risks.
