Inflation Cool-Down Sparks Tech-Led Rally Across Asia and US Markets

Asian equities rose for a fourth straight week as US inflation cooled, boosting bets the Federal Reserve will hold rates next month. MSCI Asia Pacific climbed about 0.3%, led by Korea’s Kospi where Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix extended weekly gains above 14%. In the US, the S&P 500 hit an all-time high and the Nasdaq 100 rose as tech shares rebound, supported by easing inflation and fading hawkish fears. Treasuries held gains with the two-year yield near 4.15%, and markets priced in roughly a 35% chance of a September rate hike.

The Great Deleveraging: Can Momentum Return to Markets?

An industry-wide deleveraging across stocks, bonds, and hedge funds—along with reduced margin debt in Korea and Japan and unwinds of UST basis trades—has cooled markets, even as Warsh’s limited Fed guidance fuels debate. The piece weighs two futures: more deleveraging that could dampen risk assets, or a cleaner setup that might reaccelerate momentum, with US equities edging toward highs as inflation data shapes rate expectations.

Trump pressures retailers to slash prices as inflation lingers

Trump is piling pressure on US companies to cut prices as inflation remains elevated (about 4.2% in May). He has touted Walmart’s price reductions and urged others to follow, signaling increased government involvement in free markets ahead of the 2026 midterms. Analysts warn the approach risks longer‑term market distortions, even as some supply‑side actions show short‑term relief.

Iran conflict adds $41B fuel bill, fueling inflation and infrastructure debates

Brown University researchers estimate Americans have spent about $41.5 billion more on fuel since the start of Trump’s Iran war, a sum that could fund major transportation investments; higher petrol prices (up about 51% to $4.51/gal) and diesel prices (up about 54% to $5.65/gal) are feeding inflation and broader costs as summer travel kicks off, while policy tweaks seek to temper the energy shock.

OECD flags energy shock as driver of higher US inflation

The OECD warns that ongoing Middle East conflict and a sustained energy shock could lift US inflation to about 4.2% this year, with broad global inflation and downside growth risks as energy and fertiliser supply disruptions bite. Global growth is expected to slow, US growth to around 2%, and policy paths for the Fed and ECB remain uncertain, prompting calls for targeted household support to shield vulnerable consumers from higher energy bills.

Diesel Near $5 Amid Iran Conflict Tightening Global Fuel Supplies

US diesel prices climbed to about $4.99 a gallon—roughly a 37% jump in a month—as the Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz blockage tighten global energy supplies, raising costs for transporting goods and farming and risking broader consumer price pressures; analysts say the rally could persist due to limited refining capacity and aging U.S. refineries.
