The main indices on Wall Street opened trading on Monday higher, supported by falling oil prices, despite the ongoing exchanges of attacks between Israel and Iran, while investors focus their attention on the upcoming meeting of the U.S. Federal Reserve.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened up by 102.3 points or 0.24% to reach 42,300.13 points.

The S&P 500 stock index rose about 2 percent in 2025, while the Nasdaq Composite index increased by 1 percent until early June 2025. You might think from these numbers that it's a slow but stable year. However, it was entirely different, as both indices experienced significant fluctuations, rising and falling; the S&P 500 index dropped more than 15 percent at one point during the year only to return to its normal state.

🔹 After weeks of turbulence in the bond market, Wall Street is now laser-focused on Thursday’s $22 billion auction of 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds — a key event closely watched by bond managers, economists, and investors alike.
This isn’t just another round of government debt issuance. It’s a test of how much faith the market still has in America’s long-term borrowing. The auction comes after a brutal stretch of volatility, particularly affecting the long end of the yield curve.
On Monday, U.S. Treasuries regained some ground following last week’s selloff. Yields fell by two to three basis points across the board, pulling back from Friday’s jump that was triggered by unexpectedly strong employment data, according to Bloomberg.
With Monday being relatively quiet in terms of economic news, market focus is now shifting to two events: Wednesday’s inflation report and Thursday’s bond auction — both seen as potential market movers.

Yields Retreat Slightly, but Long-Term Debt Anxiety Persists
The outlook for long-dated bonds remains shaky. Yields have been climbing steadily since April. The 30-year Treasury yield recently peaked at 5.15% on May 22 — its highest level since 2023. By Monday, it had eased to 4.95%, but remains elevated. The 10-year yield moved similarly, dropping to 4.48% — a breather, not a turnaround.
Lauren van Biljon, portfolio manager at Allspring Global Investments, called Thursday’s auction a tone-setter for the rest of June. “This is going to be key and will truly define the mood for the month,” she told Bloomberg TV. “We know there’s a lot of concern about long-term funding.”
She’s not alone in her caution. Mike Riddell, a fund manager at Fidelity International, said he’s already repositioned for long bonds to underperform. The shift, he notes, is no longer just about interest rates — it's about the U.S. fiscal trajectory and market supply-demand dynamics.
“What’s troubling,” he added, “is that policymakers seem totally unmoved by recent bond market moves.”

From Monetary Policy to Fiscal Risk: The Narrative Has Shifted
That pivot away from Fed rate policy as the main market driver is no small shift. For years, investors obsessed over rate hikes and cuts. Now, the focus is on whether the U.S. can continue massive borrowing and spending without cracking investor confidence.
Smaller bond sales earlier this week — three-year and ten-year Treasuries — may offer additional signals, but all eyes are locked on Thursday’s big test.

Inflation Could Spoil the Party
Wednesday’s inflation data could throw everything off course. Bloomberg economists expect the May CPI to rise to 2.5% year-over-year, up from April’s 2.3%. That would be enough to rattle any long-bond holder.
Kathleen Brooks, research director at XTB, warned that rising inflation could reduce risk appetite and even blunt gains in the dollar. “Especially if it derails Thursday’s 30-year Treasury auction,” she added.

30-Year Treasuries Now the Market’s Least Favorite?
According to Jack McIntyre of Brandywine Global, the upcoming bond auctions will be seen as a stress test for sentiment. “Every auction this week will be interpreted as a barometer for the market’s mood,” he said.
His view on long bonds? “I think 30-year U.S. Treasuries are the least liked right now.”
Issuing these bonds is getting costlier. The government is borrowing more, spending more, and paying more in interest. This combination has pushed the 30-year yield near its 20-year highs. Monday’s modest dip below 5% doesn’t change the larger, upward trend.
This week, inflation data and the outcome of the 30-year bond sale will show if investors are still willing to buy into America’s long-term debt story.

The major indices on Wall Street began trading on Monday with a slight rise, as investors anticipate a new round of trade negotiations between the United States and China aimed at resolving the disputes that have shaken financial markets this year.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 23.3 points, or 0.05 percent, to reach 42,786.19 points.

As Bitcoin continues to rise at a breakneck pace in 2025, Wall Street analysts are making increasingly bold predictions about the future of the world's largest cryptocurrency. Some of these predictions are hype, while others are more realistic.
Experts at VanEck, Fundstrat, and Standard Chartered predict Bitcoin will rise to between $180,000 and $250,000 by 2025, based on institutional adoption and historical market patterns. But are such lofty price projections realistic?

🔹 Trump urges the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates quickly, warning that U.S. tariffs are already impacting the economy.

🔹 The Fed kept interest rates unchanged but raised its inflation forecast to 2.8% while lowering economic growth projections.

🔹 Stock markets rebounded after the Fed confirmed plans for two rate cuts in 2025.

Trump: "The Fed Must Cut Rates ASAP"
President Donald Trump has once again called on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, citing the negative effects of U.S. tariffs on the economy.
💬 "The Fed would be MUCH better off LOWERING RATES, as U.S. tariffs will (easily!) start flowing into the economy," Trump wrote on Truth Social. He added that April 2 marks "America's Liberation Day," hinting at potential changes in tariff policies.

Fed Holds Rates Steady but Warns of Economic Risks
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) kept interest rates at 4.25%-4.5% during its Wednesday meeting but also adjusted its economic outlook:
📉 Expected GDP growth for 2025 was lowered to 1.7% from a previous estimate of 2.1%.

📈 The inflation forecast increased to 2.8% from the earlier 2.5% projection.
This shift signals a growing risk of stagflation—a combination of slow economic growth and rising prices.

Fed Monitors Economic Risks, Markets React Positively
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged that inflation has started rising again, partially due to tariff policies.
💬 "We see a delay in inflation progress. Businesses and households are showing increasing uncertainty and concerns over potential economic slowdown."
Despite inflation concerns, the Fed still plans to cut rates twice by the end of 2025. The latest dot plot suggests rates could be at 3.9%, meaning a target range of 3.75%-4%.
📊 Market reaction was positive:

✔️ Dow Jones rose by 71 points.

✔️ S&P 500 gained 0.3%.

✔️ Nasdaq 100 increased by 0.4%.

💡 Stock indexes are attempting to recover from February losses. S&P 500 is currently 7% below its all-time high, but it may break its four-week losing streak.

What Are Investors Watching Next?
📌 Upcoming economic data will be crucial for the Fed's next moves.

📌 Unemployment claims and real estate sales reports are set to be released.

📌 Trump’s tariff policies could play a significant role in shaping the economic landscape.
