War, Hike, and the One Number That Mattered: Week of June 9–13, 2026

The ECB hiked rates for the first time since 2023, U.S. CPI came in at a three-year high of 4.2% with a softer-than-expected core, and the Bank of Japan's governor landed in hospital — yet the BoJ's 90%-priced hike to 1.00% is still on for next week. Iran war escalation drove the S&P 500 through a 580-point round trip before Trump called off Thursday night's strikes, sending oil down 4%, Treasury yields rallying, and equities to their best session in weeks. This issue covers the ECB decision, May CPI/PPI breakdown, FX and rates, cross-asset phase analysis, and the critical week-ahead calendar anchored by the BoJ and Warsh's first FOMC press conference.

The Jobs Shock: Week of June 2–6, 2026

May payrolls came in at 172,000 — more than double consensus — triggering Wall Street's worst day of the year, a 15-month high in the 2-year Treasury yield, and USD/JPY back above 160. With EZ CPI at 3.2% and BOJ Governor Ueda signaling a 'good chance' of a June hike, the coming week's ECB decision (June 11), US CPI (June 11), and BOJ MPM (June 15) will determine whether the synchronized global tightening cycle is truly restarting.

A Ceasefire Dividend and a Data Reality Check: Week of May 26–30, 2026

Iran ceasefire signals pushed oil from $112 to $92 and Treasury yields lower for four straight sessions — but PCE hit a three-year high at 3.8%, GDP was revised down to 1.6%, the RBNZ held by a casting vote with explicit hike guidance, and the SARB became the first major EM bank to hike since the war began. The week closes with a packed June calendar led by the US May jobs report on June 6 and the ECB's June 11 decision.

PCE and the Warsh Test: Week of May 26–30, 2026

FOMC minutes confirmed a hawkish shift, Governor Waller removed his easing bias in Frankfurt, and April PCE arrives Thursday as Warsh's first major inflation test. ECB at 86% probability of a June hike, BoJ near 80%; the RBA pauses after a jobs miss. Brent eases toward $99 on Iran deal optimism as markets brace for a data-heavy, holiday-shortened week.

Oil, Yields, and a New Fed Chair: Week of May 19–23, 2026

Brent crude swung from $112 to $102 and back to $105, pulling Treasuries, FX, and equities with it. The FOMC minutes confirmed a hawkish shift, Kevin Warsh was sworn in as Fed Chair, UK and European PMIs slipped into contraction, and Japan's soft April CPI clouded BoJ hike timing — all while markets start pricing a Fed rate increase by year-end.
