<p>Tuesday’s market action follows Monday’s euphoric response to a diplomatic breakthrough between the United States and Iran that sparked optimism about the Strait of Hormuz’s reopening. However, that enthusiasm is quickly evaporating.</p>
<h3 id="hormuz-reopening-timeline-faces-reality-check">Hormuz Reopening Timeline Faces Reality Check</h3>
<p>President Trump took to social media encouraging vessels to prepare for transit ahead of a Friday reopening target for the strategic waterway. Yet industry experts caution that the recovery timeline may prove far more complex.</p>
<p>Analyst David Rosenberg from Rosenberg Research projects a six-month timeframe before oil shipments through the corridor return to pre-crisis levels. This extended timeline suggests energy-driven economic headwinds will persist longer than markets initially anticipated.</p>
<p>While <a href="https://coincentral.com/oil-prices-tank-9-in-a-week-is-the-hormuz-crisis-finally-over/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">oil prices</a> retreated Tuesday, Treasury yields maintained elevated levels. The benchmark 10-year yield hovered around 4.46%, with the 2-year yield positioned near 4.08%.</p>
<p>Market strategists interpret the persistent yield elevation as evidence that investor attention has shifted toward Federal Reserve policy rather than geopolitical developments.</p>
<h3 id="federal-reserve-convenes-under-new-leadership">Federal Reserve Convenes Under New Leadership</h3>
<p>The Federal Reserve commenced its two-day June policy meeting Tuesday, with a rate announcement scheduled for Wednesday afternoon — marking Chairman Kevin Warsh’s inaugural policy briefing since his Trump-endorsed appointment.</p>
<p>While monetary policy is expected to remain unchanged, Wall Street analysts are scrutinizing the updated interest rate projections for signals about potential tightening later this year.</p>
<p>Inflation readings have exceeded forecasts recently. The Iranian crisis amplified energy costs, adding upward pressure to consumer prices.</p>
<p>BTIG’s Jonathan Krinsky observed that financial markets frequently “challenge” newly appointed Fed chairs. He identified the 30-year Treasury yield as a critical indicator, suggesting a breach above 5.05% could indicate mounting pressure on Warsh’s policy stance.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Bank of Japan elevated its policy rate Tuesday to its highest level in over three decades, responding to inflationary concerns.</p>
<h3 id="spacex-advances-closer-to-amazon-s-valuation">SpaceX Advances Closer to Amazon’s Valuation</h3>
<p><a href="https://coincentral.com/spacex-spcx-stock-up-5-as-60b-cursor-deal-drops-days-after-ipo/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SpaceX</a> extended its post-IPO rally for a third consecutive session, with Elon Musk’s aerospace venture closing the gap on Amazon’s market capitalization.</p>
<p>Should SpaceX surpass Amazon’s valuation, it would claim the fifth position among the world’s most valuable publicly traded companies. The stock maintained its upward trajectory Tuesday, building on strong IPO performance.</p>
<p>The Dow’s Tuesday advance coincided with declining crude prices as market participants turned their attention toward the Federal Reserve’s policy announcement. By midday trading, the Dow had climbed approximately 0.6%, with any positive close establishing a fresh all-time record.</p>
