🚀 Iran Deal and SpaceX Send Markets Flying
Last week, US stocks whipsawed on geopolitical headlines before finishing higher. Escalating US-Iran tensions and a three-year-high inflation reading of 4.2% dragged the S&P 500 down more than 2% mid-week, before peace-deal optimism and SpaceX’s blockbuster market debut powered a broad recovery with tech leading the way.
This week, the Federal Reserve wraps up its two-day policy meeting, and Chair Kevin Warsh holds a press conference, giving investors their clearest signal yet on where rates are headed. The Fed is widely expected to hold steady, but any hint of future hikes could rattle a market still digesting 4.2% inflation and freshly lower oil prices. Retail sales and housing data also land this week, offering a read on consumer health, and markets close Thursday for Juneteenth, making it a compressed but consequential four-day stretch.

Retail Bullishness Broadens
The Schwab Trading Activity Index (STAX) measures actual client trading behaviour across generations, and May’s reading suggests the post-April selloff anxiety has largely faded.
The latest data shows a sharp rise in younger investor sentiment. Millennials’ score climbed 11.2% to 54.1, nearly matching Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation, while Gen Z rose 11.4%.
Gen X remained the strongest buyer with a score of 61.6, continuing to add to semiconductor names such as Nvidia, Micron, and Intel during pullbacks.
Diversified ETFs featured prominently in the most-bought names, and smaller accounts outpaced larger ones on the bullishness scale, suggesting conviction remains selective rather than broad. May’s reading also sat well below February and March highs, so the recovery looks real but not euphoric. Watch whether single-stock risk appetite returns in June as the cleaner signal of how deep this rebound runs.
Rethinking Emerging Markets
The chart shows the growth of a $100 investment since 2010. US equities climbed to roughly $720 by the end of 2025, while emerging markets reached $186. The result is a record concentration in US equities, with the US now accounting for about 65% of the MSCI All Country World Index.

Earnings Performance
Adobe Inc (NASDAQ: ADBE)
Adobe Inc (NASDAQ: ADBE) delivered a record fiscal Q2, reporting revenue of $6.62 billion, up 13% year over year, while raising its full-year guidance. Non-GAAP EPS reached $5.96, operating cash flow totaled $2.17 billion, and total ARR grew to $27.1 billion, reflecting continued momentum across the company’s AI and subscription businesses.
Despite the strong quarter, shares fell as investors focused on Adobe’s decision to expand freemium offerings and delay planned Creative Cloud price increases, a strategy management said could pressure near-term ARR growth. The selloff was compounded by leadership transitions, including CFO Dan Durn’s upcoming departure and the company’s ongoing CEO succession process.

Ethanol Finds a New Growth Market at Sea
Major shippers, including A.P. Moller Maersk and Vale, are adopting ethanol as a marine fuel because it is abundant, available today, and cost-competitive with other low-carbon alternatives.
For investors, shipping creates a potentially significant new source of demand for ethanol beyond gasoline blending. As commercial use expands, higher fuel consumption from the marine sector could support ethanol demand, pricing, and production growth, particularly in key producers such as the United States and Brazil.
