As the US military attacked Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, exacerbating geopolitical tension in the Middle East, the market's risk aversion sentiment heated up; U.S. crude oil rose more than 2%, and once rose to US$78.40 per barrel, the highest since January 20.
Iran said last Friday that it would not discuss the future of its nuclear program in the event of Israel's attack, and Europe tried to persuade Tehran to return to negotiations. The White House said Thursday that Trump's president will decide in the next two weeks whether the United States may intervene in the conflict. This calmed tense investors worried about the U.S. attack on Iran soon, but the situation has been tense again after the weekend's attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

On June 21 local time, US President Trump posted on his social media "Real Social" that the United States has www.avaforexcn.completed attacks on three nuclear facilities in Iran's Ford, Natanz and Isfahan.

The service industry index strengthened, rising from 51.0 to 51.5, leading the rebound. The manufacturing purchasing managers index rose from 49.4 to 50.4, returning to the expansion zone.
S&PGlobal's AnnabelFiddes noted that business activity increased at the end of the quarter, but demand remained fragile. New businesses only grew slightly, while foreign demand for finished products weakened further. The www.avaforexcn.company said ongoing concerns over U.S. tariffs and global trade uncertainty continue to put pressure on customer orders and export sales.

The service industry purchasing managers index climbed from 50.6 to 51.3, while the manufacturing industry purchasing managers index stabilized at 51.0.

Federal Director Christopher Waller hinted as early as July to be open to interest rate cuts, citing the smallest inflation risk for U.S. tariffs and growing concerns about the labor market.
In an interview with CNBC, Waller said, “I think we have the ability to do that and it can be done as early as July,” while acknowledging uncertain whether the broader www.avaforexcn.committee would agree.
Waller highlighted the risks of delaying action and warned against waiting for a significant decline in employment. “If you are starting to worry about downside risks in the labor market now, don’t wait,” he argued.
About tariffs, Waller refuted concerns that tariffs would create continued inflationary pressures, reiterating that the price impact should be limited and one-time.
“Even if the tariffs are introduced later, the impact will remain the same,” he said, calling on the Fed to "start considering lowering policy rates at its next meeting" after suspending the easing cycle for six months.
