Looking back at last week…

Monday: Rebound as Tensions Let Up
Global markets bounced back after a rough Friday. The S&P rose about 0.9%, the Dow gained ~0.8%, and the Nasdaq climbed ~1.5% as oil cooled and safe-haven assets eased. Renewed optimism around de-escalation between Israel and Iran helped sentiment, while Treasury yields remained steady. 

Tuesday: Middle East Escalation Weighs on Stocks
The mood turned cautious when U.S. strikes hit Iranian nuclear sites. Markets pulled back: the Dow fell ~0.3%, the S&P dropped ~0.4%, and Nasdaq slid ~0.5%. Oil spiked over 4%, Treasury yields fell, and concerns about global growth re-emerged amid weak retail sales.

Wednesday: Builder Sentiment Slumps
Housing showed cracks—homebuilder confidence sank to its lowest in over two years. The S&P dipped about 0.1%, the Nasdaq stayed flat, and the Dow trailed. Yields fell further, and investors looked ahead to Fed projections and inflation data later in the week.

Friday: Further Slide as Geopolitical Fears Persist
Markets ended the week lower once more. Oil surged ~20% for June, pushing inflation concerns higher and keeping equities under pressure. The S&P and Dow both slipped, and investors continued to favor bonds amid a tense global backdrop.

Takeaway
This week was a wild mix — from Middle East flare-ups to weak housing sentiment and bond barrelling. Stocks are feeling it, oil is roaring, and investors are defensively leaning into bonds. If you’re holding, you’re earning it. Let’s see what next week brings as the Fed speaks and tensions simmer.
