Equity markets fell over the week following hotter than expected US CPI data and heightened tensions in the Middle East following Iran’s attempted missile strikes on Israel.
Just one month ago markets had placed a high probability that the US Federal Reserve would cut its interest rates at it’s upcoming June and July meetings.

US equity markets fell 1.6% over the week, with small and midcap stocks fairing worse than mega-cap growth names.
