Markets Update: Iran Deal Signed, Fed Holds — Futures Surge on June 18, 2026

  Global markets are getting a lift this Thursday as two major storylines resolved overnight: President Donald Trump formally signed an interim peace agreement with Iran, and the Federal Reserve held interest rates steady while delivering a surprisingly hawkish policy signal. U.S. stock futures are surging this morning — even as Wednesday's session ended sharply lower — and oil prices are retreating on hopes that the Strait of Hormuz will soon reopen to commercial traffic. For Canadian investors, the convergence of a falling oil price, a recovering loonie, and a TSX still navigating sector cross-currents makes today's session one to watch closely.

Bitcoin Hits Record High, Analysts Predict $100,000 Milestone

 

Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high this week, surpassing $70,000 amid growing optimism about institutional adoption and a favorable regulatory outlook. The milestone has reignited discussions about the cryptocurrency’s potential to reach $100,000, a target long anticipated by bullish investors and analysts.

The rally comes as major financial institutions increasingly embrace Bitcoin. Recent developments, including the approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and heightened interest from large asset managers, have fueled demand. Additionally, global economic uncertainties and inflation concerns have bolstered Bitcoin’s appeal as a hedge.

Market experts suggest the psychological $100,000 mark could be achievable by early 2025 if current trends persist. “Bitcoin’s scarcity, combined with growing institutional involvement, creates a strong foundation for long-term growth,” said a report from Glassnode.

However, analysts caution against potential volatility, noting that Bitcoin’s price movements often correlate with shifts in market sentiment and macroeconomic developments.

As Bitcoin continues its upward trajectory, its role in the global financial ecosystem appears increasingly significant, sparking renewed interest from retail and institutional investors alike.
