📊 Market Snapshot

Gold retreated sharply from the session high of 4255, falling nearly $140 to 4123 on profit-taking. Oil traded in an $88–91 range, bouncing to close above $91.

🔥 Key Headlines This Hour

• US May CPI hits 4.2%, a 3-year high: Energy prices surged +23.5% YoY, with gasoline up +40.5% year-over-year, driving headline inflation. However, core CPI came in softer than expected, easing fears of aggressive Fed tightening.
• OPEC output falls to lowest since 2000: Reuters survey shows US naval blockade disrupting Iranian exports; effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz also sharply reducing Gulf state shipments.
• SpaceX mega-IPO identified as equity market headwind: Global capital rotating out of US equities to fund the trillion-dollar IPO. Analysts expect a relief rally post-listing but warn of more IPO pressure in H2.
• BOJ rate hike expected next week: Governor Ueda hospitalized and absent from meetings, but markets fully price in a 25bp hike at the June 12 decision.
• Bank of Canada holds at 2.25%: Fifth consecutive hold amid stagflation dilemma—economic contraction versus sticky inflation. Both rate cuts and hikes remain on the table.

🧭 Market Outlook

Gold’s pullback from record highs near $4,257 is driven by profit-taking and softening Fed hike expectations after benign core CPI data.

Oil is supported by historically low OPEC supply and geopolitical risk near the Strait of Hormuz, though global growth headwinds cap upside.

The SpaceX IPO represents a temporary liquidity drain for US equities; post-listing capital rotation back into stocks could provide a near-term relief rally.
