On Tuesday, major indexes closed lower for a second straight session amid continued conflict between Israel and Iran and disappointing U.S. retail sales. The <strong>S&amp;P 500 fell 0.8%<\/strong>, the <strong>Nasdaq lost 0.9%<\/strong>, and the <strong>Dow declined 0.7%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Khamenei Pushes Back Against U.S.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tensions flared further after Khamenei rejected U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s demand for unconditional surrender, warning that no peace or war could be imposed on Iran. \u201cAny U.S. military intervention will undoubtedly be accompanied by irreparable damage,\u201d he said in his first public statement since Israel began striking Iranian targets last Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <em>Reuters<\/em>, the White House is evaluating several responses, including the possibility of coordinating military action with Israel against Iranian nuclear facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fed Set to Hold, Dot Plot in Focus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Markets now turn their attention to the Fed, which concludes its two-day meeting later today. While no change to interest rates is expected\u2014keeping them in the <strong>4.25%\u20134.50%<\/strong> range\u2014investors will scrutinize the central bank\u2019s updated economic projections and <strong>dot plot<\/strong> for clues about future policy moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With uncertainty stemming from Trump\u2019s proposed tariffs, the Fed is expected to maintain a cautious stance. Current market pricing reflects a slightly better-than-even chance of the next rate cut occurring in September, according to the <strong>CME FedWatch Tool<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key economic data due Wednesday includes <strong>May housing starts<\/strong>, <strong>preliminary building permits<\/strong>, and <strong>weekly jobless claims<\/strong>\u2014offering further insight into the health of the U.S. economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Banking Sector in Spotlight<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regulatory developments also drew attention as <em>Bloomberg<\/em> reported that U.S. banking regulators are planning to reduce the <strong>Enhanced Supplementary Leverage Ratio (ESLR)<\/strong> for the nation\u2019s largest banks. The proposed change could lower the buffer from <strong>5% to between 3.5% and 4.5%<\/strong>, easing capital constraints for major lenders such as <strong>JPMorgan Chase (JPM)<\/strong>, <strong>Goldman Sachs (GS)<\/strong>, and <strong>Morgan Stanley (MS)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oil Prices Rebound<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Crude prices edged higher following earlier losses, supported by fears of supply disruptions in the Middle East. As of 07:10 ET, <strong>Brent crude was up 0.2% at $76.60<\/strong> a barrel, and <strong>West Texas Intermediate rose 0.2% to $72.41<\/strong>. Both benchmarks surged over <strong>4% on Tuesday<\/strong> amid concerns over the security of the <strong>Strait of Hormuz<\/strong>, a vital oil transit route.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. stock futures held steady early Wednesday, paring earlier gains after Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a sharp rebuke to U.S. demands, escalating tensions in the Middle East just hours before the Federal Reserve is set to announce its latest policy decision.
