THE MACRO ANGLE
The dominant macro force this week was the Fed’s hawkish-leaning communication following the release of the May 2026 PCE inflation data, which showed core inflation persisting at 0.3% MoM. The data reinforced concerns that the disinflationary trend has stalled, keeping the Fed in a "higher-for-longer" posture. This CAUTION regime (65/100) reflects a market on edge — equities swinging between relief rallies and sharp liquidation, with no clear directional conviction. The week’s bifurcated performance underscores that risk appetite remains fragile until the Fed signals a clearer path to easing.
