The renewed attacks are generating growing worries about the feasibility of a longer-term truce in which both nations commit to peace, as significant disagreements regarding control of the Strait, sanctions relief and Tehran\u2019s nuclear program remain meaningful sticking points. The heightened geopolitical tensions are burying speculative enthusiasms in markets, as turbulence in South Korean memory chipmaker names overnight reached the domestic session, where AI, tech, semis and most of the Magnificent 7 members are retreating. Emblematic of the weakness is the Nasdaq 100 Index leading the decline among benchmarks; it\u2019s plunging more than 1.5%. But the losses are increasingly tempered amongst the other headline averages, helped by a broadening in which 8 of the 11 major sectors are advancing,&nbsp;which had lifted the Dow into the green before it backpedaled back into the red. Elsewhere, volatility protection instruments are catching bids in light of greater hedging demand ahead of a pair of pivotal inflation reports, prediction markets are seeing interest, non-energy commodities are sinking, generally speaking, and cryptocurrencies are declining broadly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-inflation-numbers-warsh-testimony-on-deck\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Inflation Numbers, Warsh Testimony on Deck<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ll see pivotal inflation data in the next two days as well as hear Fed Chair Kevin Warsh testify to Congress. Wall Street is expecting the annualized Consumer and Producer Price Indices to have peaked in May at 4.2% and 6.5%, and quick slides to the mid to low 3s across both indicators would deliver strong gains to Treasury bulls in the months ahead. Indeed, July\u2019s headline estimates are running at 3.5% to 3.6%, and some relief on the geopolitical front that brings oil under $70 on a sustainable basis could generate a 2-handle by the end of 2026. But the head of the central bank has shown discipline regarding the monetary policy institution\u2019s cost objective, and a slow deceleration points to investors having to manage tighter financial conditions for longer-than-preferred. It\u2019s all about the speed south at this juncture, with a faster pace down being conducive to risk-on attitudes in markets amidst lighter volatility, while a more gradual stride could hamper animal spirits and drive heightened turbulence. Weaker-than-expected numbers tomorrow and Wednesday could send stocks to new records, while hotter ones are likely to hurt equities in the near term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
