Iran strikes Kuwait airport; WTI tops $96 on third day of rally; Logan calls for rate hike; gold and copper retreat
Wednesday's June 3 session was defined by a severe widening of the Iran conflict's geographic scope — an IRGC drone-and-missile strike on Kuwait International Airport killed one person and wounded 63+ others, while a simultaneous salvo targeting the US Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain was intercepted. WTI CLN6 settled at $96.02/bbl (+2.41%), completing a three-session +9.91% rally and pushing $100 into view. Three simultaneous macro data prints (ADP +122K, ISM Services PMI 54.5 with prices-paid at a four-year high, Fed Beige Book flagging energy-driven inflation) and Dallas Fed President Logan's explicit rate-hike call sent gold down 1.29% to $4,461.70 (August active) and COMEX copper retreating 2.53% from Tuesday's all-time record of $6.6765. Grains fell for a fourth session, unmoved by oil's rally, as favorable crop weather and continued absence of USDA-confirmed China purchases kept bears in control. The S&P 500 ended its nine-session winning streak.
