The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 500 points on Tuesday, according to CNBC. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq also declined. The market was weighed down by a sell-off in chip stocks, a threat from US Donald Trump against Iran, and news of a three-year high in inflation.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for May came in higher than expected, confirming inflationary pressure. Traders now anticipate tighter monetary policy from the Federal Reserve. Meanwhile, the US-Iran truce is teetering: Trump threatened a military response after Iran shot down a US helicopter.
EuroPulse reported on June 8 on the provisional halt of attacks between Iran and Israel and Trump’s push for de-escalation (https://europulse.today/iran-israel-angriffe-einstellung-trump-deeskalation/).
