[US Stocks | 6.15 Outlook] "Peace Trading" Takes Over, Can the Plunge in Oil Prices Ease Inflation
On Friday, news that the US-Iran peace agreement text is close to being finalized and the Strait of Hormuz may reopen turned oil prices into a major swing factor: WTI dropped about 4% in a single day, falling to around $87, and at one point dipped below $85. Energy prices have been the main driver of soaring inflation over the past two months, and any easing in oil prices directly alleviates market concerns about the "Wash Era shift towards rate hikes," resulting in improved risk appetite.
Boosted by this, the three major indices closed higher on Friday, with the Dow up +0.7%, S&P 500 +0.5%, and Nasdaq +0.31%, wrapping up a tumultuous week on a relatively decent note. However, there are still discrepancies: while the agreement text is nearing finalization, ratings agencies estimate that the actual reopening of the Strait won't occur until the end of July, and the impact of a five-month "supply cut" has not fully dissipated, meaning any fluctuations could cause oil prices to swing wildly.
Points of Focus:
· 6.16-17 FOMC: Rates are expected to remain at 3.50%-3.75%, with particular attention on Wash's first press conference wording and dot plot
· Can oil prices stabilize from their downward trend, and how energy stocks (XOM, CVX) interact with aviation and consumer sectors?
· Will the chip stocks (NVDA, AVGO) that were bloodied last week stabilize as sentiment warms?
· The rhythm of the peace agreement's rollout, with the potential for good news to be priced in and monetary policy decisions intertwined, creates high volatility
Tip: Peace trading dominates sentiment, but good news often leads to "buy the expectation, sell the fact." Coupled with monetary policy variables, avoid chasing highs and manage your positions carefully.
