Summary

A pivotal day for markets as Kevin Warsh chairs his first FOMC meeting, while a US-Iran interim deal promises to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and allow Iranian oil exports. Bond strategists see peak yields and a summer rally; equity strategists call for a rotation from tech into cyclicals. SpaceX continues its post-IPO frenzy, and oil analysts are split on whether crude will spike or further decline.

  • Investors await Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first rate decision and press conference.
  • Details of US-Iran MOU suggest immediate Iranian oil waivers and Strait of Hormuz reopening, pressuring oil prices.
  • Bond strategist predicts a summer rally as inflation and rates have peaked.
  • Equity strategists see market broadening from tech into regional banks and consumer goods.
  • Oil analysts divide: some see oversold crude set for a spike, others call supply resilient.
  • SpaceX becomes fifth-largest company days after IPO; options skew signals speculative upside bets.
  • Retail sales beat expectations, showing a resilient U.S. consumer despite high gas prices.
  • Fed communication expected to shift toward less forward guidance under Warsh.
Ideas
George Goncalves Head of Research, Blockworks 5:08
Rates peaked, start summer bond rally.
Inflation has largely been driven by oil shocks, and with oil prices contained despite the Strait of Hormuz crisis, inflation is likely peaking. The high prints for rates are behind us, and we are entering a ‘summer of the bond market’. If oil and inflation peak, the Fed will have room to cut rates by year-end, leading to a bond rally.
IEF HIGH
Mike Wilson Chief Investment Officer, Morgan Stanley 52:21
S&P 500 to 8000 by year-end.
The stock market is an earnings-driven bull market. Multiples have compressed but earnings growth is strong, especially in areas beyond tech. The S&P 500 can reach 8000 by year-end even with a summer correction, as the rotation into underappreciated cyclicals pushes the index higher.
SPY MED
Mike Wilson Chief Investment Officer, Morgan Stanley 53:16
Rotate into cyclicals, avoid tech.
The bull market remains intact but is rotating away from tech into procyclical areas. With oil prices subsiding and the Iran war risk fading, earnings growth in regional banks and consumer goods is underappreciated. This rotation does not kill the bull market and can drive the index to new highs.
KRE XLY MED
Mike Wilson Chief Investment Officer, Morgan Stanley 57:35
Oil supply resilient, prices peaked.
The oil selloff is unwarranted and the market is overly optimistic about the Iran deal. Inventories are at multi-year lows, and once Asia returns to normal buying in the summer demand season, the supply deficit will reappear. Prices will retrace upward.
WTI MED
Saira Malik Chief Investment Officer at Nuveen 101:51
Buy European equities and cyclicals.
As the Middle East conflict fades and oil prices decline, inflation should moderate, and the market broadening trade resumes. Global equities, particularly European equities and cyclical sectors, will outperform growth stocks. The strong economy and continued buy-the-dip behavior support this rotation.
