Will the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz prompt the Federal Reserve to adopt a 'dovish pivot' and lead markets to reprice 'rate cuts'?

Citi noted that two catalysts—declining oil prices and a cooldown in core CPI—are unfolding simultaneously: expectations of the Strait of Hormuz reopening have pushed down energy prices, while core CPI rose just 0.21% month-over-month in May, accelerating the erosion of the Fed's hawkish rationale. The probability of Kevin Warsh delivering a dovish signal at this week’s FOMC meeting has tilted upward, leaving significant room for further declines in the two-year U.S. Treasury yield, with repricing toward rate cuts potentially imminent.

A pivotal week for central banks is fraught with uncertainty! The Bank of Japan announces its interest rate decision today, potentially ushering in the '1% era'.

This week, the geopolitical 'defusing'—marked by a deal between the United States and Iran and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz—coincided with the 'Super Central Bank Week' (June 15–21), during which eight major central banks, including the Federal Reserve, the Bank of Japan, and the Bank of England, held policy meetings. This swiftly shifted market pricing dynamics away from 'stagflation fears' and back toward 'risk-off sentiment.'

Wall Street is feverishly chasing higher prices, leverage demand is surging, and U.S. equities may be setting the stage for the next 'volatility doomsday.'

High leverage itself is not necessarily a dead end; what is alarming is its convergence with an extremely fragile market structure. Market strategist Simon White noted that the average pairwise correlation among S&P 500 constituents has fallen to its second-lowest level in at least 25 years, just above the level seen before the so-called 'volatility doom' of 2018. Progress on a U.S.-Iran peace deal has revived market animal spirits, yet the current risk-reward profile remains unattractive.

Goldman Sachs trader warns: AI-driven trading is no longer in the era of simple 'buy everything'

Goldman Sachs trader Lee Coppersmith warned that the AI theme is moving beyond the simplistic 'buy everything' phase. Investors are beginning to tap the brakes, primarily due to market correction needs, concerns over leverage and concentrated positions, and a growing focus on opportunities outside AI. Although the overarching AI narrative remains intact, internal divergence is intensifying. Cloud computing providers continue to report high capital expenditures, and the market is now demanding tangible returns—making granular stock selection critical.

Analysts at GLJ Research noted that U.S. IPO fundraising in 2026 could reach $200 billion—exceeding the combined total from the internet bubble years of 1999 and 2000, and nearly double the amount raised during the speculative peak of 2021. Historically, record-breaking issuance volumes have not signaled market prosperity; rather, they have served as a warning that a market top is approaching, as such activity drains liquidity from the market.
