The Coin Bureau Weekly Market Recap (June 7th – June 13th, 2026) ⚡️
🔴 This week was a volatile one. The Dow swung 900 points in a single session as Trump threatened to resume strikes on Iran and then called them off 48 hours later. We also saw the CPI hit 4.2% and the largest IPO in history debut on Friday.
🔴 At the same time, if you only looked at the closing numbers, you'd think nothing happened. The S&P 500 finished Friday at 7,431.46, the Dow at 51,202.26, and the Nasdaq at 25,888.84 — all up roughly 0.6–0.7% on the week. The fact that markets ended roughly where they started is either a sign of remarkable resilience or a market that has no idea where to go next
🔴 On the geopolitical front, Trump teased the resumption of kinetic strikes on Tuesday after Iran reportedly targeted a U.S. helicopter. On Wednesday, the Dow dipped 900 points as the Pentagon signalled more strikes were being planned. Then on Thursday afternoon, oil fell about 4% in 15 minutes after Trump called off the attacks, saying a deal was close and that "the time and place of the signing" would be announced shortly. Markets rallied into the close. By Friday, Iranian state media reported a draft 14-point memorandum of understanding that includes a U.S. commitment to lift oil sanctions and an Iranian commitment to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. As of the time of writing, the peace deal is expected to be signed on Sunday (tomorrow). Though, Trump has also claimed to hold a “final alternative” if it fails.
🔴 On that note, oil has had its best week in months or worst, depending on your perspective. WTI closed Friday at $84.88, down 3.2% on the day. Brent settled at $87.33, down 3.1%. Both are now at their lowest levels since early April. The peace narrative is pulling crude down sharply. If the MOU gets signed and the Strait genuinely reopens, oil has significantly further to fall. If it doesn't, we've seen how quickly these reversals snap back.
🔴 As for economic data, this week’s CPI report confirmed what everyone feared: headline inflation has broken above 4%. The May reading came in at 4.2% year-over-year. This is the highest since April 2023; with a 0.5% monthly gain driven by a 3.9% surge in energy prices. All signs point to a rate hike. The markets will be watching Warsh’s guidance next week in his first FOMC meeting. There's also some speculation that Warsh may scrap the dot plot entirely at this meeting. This would be a symbolic break from the Powell era, removing one of the market's most-watched forward guidance tools.
🔴 Finally, SpaceX went public on Friday. The shares were priced at $135, opened at $150, touched an intraday high of $176.52, and closed at $161.11. The company raised $75 billion, making it the largest IPO in history. At $161, SpaceX enters the $2 trillion market cap club on day one, joining Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon as the sixth U.S. company above that threshold. MSCI said it will add SPCX to its Large-Cap and Standard indexes, effective June 29.
🔴 As for crypto, BTC continues to bleed. Bitcoin currently trades at ~$64K. This is up from the $62K lows earlier in the week but still well below the $73,500 it held at the end of May. ETH has dropped to $1,675. The broader crypto complex is caught between the structural tailwind of the CLARITY Act and the macro headwind of 4.2% inflation, $85 oil, and a hawkish new Fed chair.
🔴 Looking ahead, the market will be watching Warsh's first FOMC meeting alongside the outcome of the Iran peace deal. This FOMC meeting will define the monetary policy outlook for the rest of the year. If he signals openness to a hike should inflation persist, long-duration assets take another leg down. If he adopts a "wait and see" posture, markets breathe and the peace rally extends. Stay tuned lads.
