June 15th - Strategists at UniCredit Investment Research Institute stated that following the interim peace agreement between the US and Iran, the market lowered, but did not completely eliminate, expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike, thus limiting the dollar's decline. Data from the London Stock Exchange Group shows that the market sees a 68% probability of a 25 basis point rate hike in December, fully reflecting expectations of action by March next year. These strategists stated that a rate hike is still possible, which should make the dollar's decline less dramatic compared to other assets, primarily oil prices. This is only an interim agreement, laying the groundwork for a new 60-day round of negotiations on the fate of Iran's nuclear program.

On June 15th, Capital Economics stated in a report that while the interim peace agreement between the US and Iran is fragile, it will reduce the risk of more severe macroeconomic and market scenarios in the coming months. The firm's chief economist, Neil Shearing, expects oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz to take time to return to normal, as tankers are still not in place and production and refining facilities have not yet returned to full capacity. The agreement will not prevent inflation from rising in the short term, nor will it shield global economic growth from a downturn in the third quarter. "The global economy is likely to face a period of below-trend growth in the third quarter, rather than a recession," Capital Economics added. However, by the end of 2026 or 2027, GDP growth rates outside the Gulf states should recover to pre-war levels of 3%.

June 15th - Lee Hardman of MUFG Bank stated in a report that despite the decline in energy prices following the interim peace agreement between the US and Iran, the yen is unlikely to achieve a meaningful recovery. Short positions in the yen continued to increase ahead of the Bank of Japan's policy decision on Tuesday. "The 25 basis point rate hike has already been fully priced in, so it's unlikely to trigger a reversal of the yen's weakness on its own, thus encouraging further increases in short yen positions," he said. He added that if energy prices continue to fall and bets on US rate hikes decrease, any further intervention by Japanese authorities to support the yen will prove more effective.
