'Challenging for investors': What Wall Street strategists are saying about the US strikes on Iran
Wall Street is closely watching escalating tensions in the Middle East after President Trump confirmed that the US launched a surprise strike on Iran's nuclear sites late Saturday, marking the country's official entry into the two-week-old conflict. "The strikes were a spectacular military success," Trump said in an address at the White House Saturday evening. "Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated." The president, who referred to Iran as the "bully of the Middle East," said the country "must now make peace." He added, "If they do not, future attacks would be far greater and a lot easier." Markets have held mostly steady in the aftermath of the escalation, although US stock futures fell in the lead-up to Monday's market open. Additionally, bitcoin (BTC-USD) prices, often viewed as a barometer of risk appetite, dropped over 1% to trade around $101,000 a coin. WTI crude (CL=F) and Brent (BZ=F) futures initially jumped when futures trading began on Sunday, but pared gains to trade near $74.50 and $77.50 a barrel, respectively, shortly before the opening bell. Until now, most strategists have said markets largely dismissed the risk of a prolonged conflict, with investors still weighing the potential for unintended consequences following US intervention. Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research, said in a research note Monday that markets are likely to discount downside scenarios and could even resume their rally despite continued negative headlines. "The disconnect between human nature's focus on the present and markets' forward-looking gaze is an under-appreciated reason why volatility of the sort we will see this week is so challenging for investors," he said. But with direct US military engagement now underway, markets may be forced to reprice risk, especially if oil prices continue to rise, threatening to reverse recent disinflation trends and further strain consumers already grappling with elevated costs. "It has been and remains our belief that the longer and broader the conflict becomes, the more challenging it could be for US equities," Lori Calvasina, head of US equity strategy research at RBC Capital Markets, wrote in a Sunday evening note to clients. "These escalations come at a tricky time for US equities, as the S&P 500 has looked fairly valued to us (perhaps a bit overvalued) from a fundamental perspective, with more room to run from a sentiment perspective." The analyst said her three main concerns include: first, the risk that rising national security uncertainty could weigh on equity valuations; second, the possibility that renewed geopolitical tensions could stall the recovery in sentiment that began after the early April tariff lows; and third, the potential for a spike in oil prices, which could fuel inflation concerns. Citi analyst Stuart Kaiser agreed that sharply higher oil prices remain "the channel for geopolitical risks to impact stock markets," identifying crude prices "well above $80 a barrel" as a critical threshold for concern. Kaiser added that options markets are now pricing in a 10% chance that oil surges 20% over the next month, up from just 2.5% two weeks ago, reflecting mounting tail risks as the conflict deepens. Still, Neil Shearing, group chief economist at Oxford Economics, wrote on Monday that oil prices "would need to climb much higher, and stay higher for much longer, to really pose an inflation threat." "Past flare-ups in the region have seen prices fall back quickly, offering some reassurance," he said. "But in a world of radical uncertainty, there's less confidence that history will repeat itself." Wall Street analysts have warned that a prolonged conflict and the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz could drive oil prices as high as $130 a barrel, pushing US inflation back toward 6%. So far, that risk seems mostly contained, with markets cautiously monitoring developments but not yet pricing in a worst-case scenario. But here's the concern: A sharp rise in energy prices would likely reverse the recent disinflation trend in gas prices. According to the latest May CPI report, prices at the pump have fallen 12% over the past year. The government's energy index declined 1% month over month in the most recent reading. If those trends reverse, economists warn that an inflation rebound could delay interest rate cuts until early 2026 as the Federal Reserve balances its dual mandate of price stability and maximum employment. While the Fed typically focuses on core inflation, which excludes volatile energy prices, higher energy costs could ripple through the supply chain and raise prices across a wide range of goods and services. "You're looking at a potentially more 'stagflationary' scenario out of that," Bank of America senior US economist Stephen Juneau told Yahoo Finance on Monday. "Of course, this has to persist. We're still at a point where oil prices are relatively low compared to a year ago, so we'll just have to see how things unfold from here. I think it's too early to say."

Northern Trust Stock Surges on Reported Merger Talks With BNY
Northern Trust shares surged Monday after Bank of New York Mellon reportedly approached the smaller bank about a merger last week. CEOs at the two banks had at least one conversation, though haven't discussed a specific offer, according to The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter. Citi analysts said they would see a deal as a 'win-win,' and raised their price targets for Northern Trust stock to $110 from $100, and $92 for BNY from $ Trust (NTRS) shares surged almost 6% in premarket trading Monday after Bank of New York Mellon (BK) reportedly approached the smaller bank about a merger last week. CEOs at the two banks had at least one conversation, though haven't discussed a specific offer, according to The Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter. 'BNY is considering its next steps, which might include returning to Northern Trust with a formal bid,' the report said. The report said that Northern Trust isn't interested in a merger with BNY and noted a tie-up 'would marry two of the world's largest asset-servicing businesses and create an investment-management powerhouse that oversees more than $3 trillion.' Northern Trust and BNY didn't immediately respond to Investopedia requests for comment. Northern Trust shares have risen around 9% so far this year. BNY shares, which entered Monday up almost 20% this year, were little changed in premarket trading. Citi analysts said they would see a deal as a 'win-win,' with the two franchises seeming 'complementary" and raised their price targets for Northern Trust stock to $110 per share from $100, and $92 for BNY from $85, "reflecting possibility of acquisition." They noted, however, that 'this deal does not seem like a 'must have,' and that they "expect BK to be disciplined on pricing and would expect only ~10% premium deal given NTRS' relatively high valuation.'

Japan's yen sinks as spike in crude oil overpowers safe-haven appeal
By Kevin Buckland TOKYO (Reuters) -The Japanese yen, normally one of the most sought after safe havens in times of geopolitical stress, has dropped 2.4% against the U.S. dollar and 1.4% against the Swiss franc since Israel launched missile attacks against Iranian nuclear and military targets on June 13. CONTEXT Japan imports almost all its oil, meaning the spike in crude since the start of the conflict threatens to worsen the country's trade balance, diminishing the yen's appeal. When Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the yen weakened against the dollar on the same day and then lost some 11.5% over March and April. WHY IT'S IMPORTANT Speculative positioning is still heavily skewed towards a stronger yen, potentially foreshadowing a major shift by hedge funds as they cover those positions. The yen exchange rate has a knock-on effect for Japanese stocks as well, with a weaker yen tending to support the market because it increases the value of overseas revenue for the country's heavyweight exporters. However, the effect may be short-lived because of the jump in manufacturing costs from higher energy prices. For Japan's unpopular government too, a weak yen fans inflation when people are already struggling with higher prices, particularly for rice. That's not a good omen ahead of crucial upper house elections next month. KEY QUOTES "A rise in crude oil prices causes a deterioration not only in Japan's trade balance but also its terms of trade, so it fundamentally acts to weaken the yen," Citi analysts wrote in a recent client note, while reiterating forecasts for the yen to weaken to 150 per dollar by September. With the Bank of Japan also striking a dovish posture at last week's policy meeting, the compounded downward pressure on the yen from oil's rally could be amplified, they said.
