Storm on the Horizon: Iran Issues Dire Warning After U.S. Naval Deployment

Tensions in the Persian Gulf have surged after Iran warned that any military strike by the United States would trigger an “all‑out war.” The warning followed the deployment of a U.S. naval “armada,” ordered by Donald Trump, to reinforce American presence in the region. Iranian officials described the move as a direct threat to their national security, insisting that even a limited attack would provoke a full‑scale response. The U.S. maintains that the deployment is meant to deter aggression and protect its interests and allies. Analysts caution that the situation is becoming increasingly volatile. With both nations adopting uncompromising positions, even a minor misstep could ignite a conflict far larger than either side intends. The world now watches closely as diplomatic channels strain under the weight of rising hostility.

Stocks Rise as Weak Economic Data Sink US Yields

                                        

Wall Street traders sent stocks higher and bond yields fell as a string of weaker-than-estimated economic reports reinforced the case for the Federal Reserve to start cutting rates this year. In a shortened session ahead of the US holiday, the S&P 500 headed toward a fresh all-time high.

In summary:

  • The S&P 500 rose to around 5,520.
  • Tesla Inc. extended its rally into a seventh straight session.
  • Amazon.com Inc. fell.
  • Treasury 10-year yields fell seven basis points to 4.36%.
  • Swap traders project almost two rate cuts in 2024, with the first in November.
  • The dollar headed toward its biggest drop since mid-May.

Investors are closely watching Friday’s employment data for further insight into the state of the labor market. Economists anticipate a 190,000 gain in nonfarm payrolls, with the unemployment rate holding at 4%.
