Comment: US1OO Market were rather uneventful last week with volatility cooling off as we head into the lull of summer. US100 and S&P 500 enjoyed modest gains last week as the three indices advanced roughly 1.1%, 2.3% and 1.3% respectively. Inflationary concerns and talk of the Fed’s monetary policy reaction drove much of the price action and were the suspected catalysts behind initial price movement on Monday and Tuesday. As the week progressed, volume and volatility died down and the major indices maintained a tight trading range into the weekend.

Comment: Crude oil prices traded slightly higher during the Asia-Pacific mid-day session after registering a 4.3% gain last week. Market participants are trying to strike a balance between rising demand from the world’s largest economies and potentially higher output from Iran and new Covid-19 outbreaks in the Asia-Pacific region.
