Today’s Newsletter (June 30th, 2025)

Futures in the green at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on trade negotiations, Israel/Iran conflict, and a busy economic calendar this week ahead of July 4th.

From Bloomberg

  • "US stock futures rose as signs of progress in trade negotiations added to the upbeat sentiment that pushed the S&P 500 to a record high at the end of last week.

  • Contracts for the US benchmark gained 0.4%, while those for the Nasdaq 100 climbed 0.6%. Most members of the Magnificent 7 technology stocks advanced in premarket trading, led by Meta Platforms Inc. with a 2% gain.

  • The dollar resumed its decline, falling as much as 0.4% against a basket of currencies to trade near three-year lows. The US Treasury market is wrapping up its best monthly return since February, with the 10-year yield declining three basis points to 4.25%.

  • The de-escalation in the conflict between Israel and Iran, combined with data highlighting the US economy’s resilience, propelled the S&P 500 to a record high last week, marking a stunning rebound from April’s tariff-induced rout. Subdued inflation is also strengthening market expectations for interest-rate cuts, even as the Federal Reserve maintains a cautious stance."
