Big Rally After More Forceful Peace Deal Announcement

Big Rally After More Forceful Peace Deal Announcement This morning's commentary noted Trump comments regarding planned air strikes for today. Bonds reacted, but maintained some skepticism. That proved to be a good instinct. At roughly 1:30pm, Trump said the air strikes were cancelled and that all parties had agreed on a deal, and that a time/place for signing would be announced shortly. There wasn't as much push back against those claims by foreign sources as we've often seen in response to similar claims of deals being reached. Stocks surged. Oil plummeted. 10yr yields dropped another 8bps for a total of more than 10 on the day. Almost every lender repriced by a healthy amount. Now we wait for whammies or no whammies.  Econ Data / Events Continued Claims (May)/30 1,795K vs 1780K f'cast, 1777K prev Core PPI m/m (May) 0.4% vs 0.5% f'cast, 1% prev Core PPI y/y (May) 4.9% vs 5.4% f'cast, 5.2% prev Jobless Claims (Jun)/06 229K vs 219K f'cast, 225K prev PPI m/m (May) 1.1% vs 0.7% f'cast, 1.4% prev PPI y/y (May) 6.5% vs 6.4% f'cast, 6% prev Market Movement Recap 08:45 AM Initially weaker after PPI and war headlines, but finding some footing.
