- Weak Housing Data: U.S. May housing starts fell 15.4% month-over-month to a six-year low of 1.177 million, below expectations of 1.430 million, indicating that the weakness in the housing market could pose challenges to economic growth.

Mixed US Stock Market with Energy Stocks Under Pressure
- Market Divergence: The S&P 500 Index fell by 0.18% and the Nasdaq 100 Index dropped by 0.83%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 0.69% to a new all-time high, indicating a divergence in market performance, particularly as energy stocks are pressured by plunging crude oil prices.
- Weak Housing Data: US May housing starts fell by 15.4% month-over-month to a six-year low of 1.177 million, significantly below the expected 1.430 million, while building permits also declined slightly, reflecting weakness in the real estate market that could negatively impact overall economic growth.
- Oil Price Impact on Sentiment: WTI crude oil prices dropped over 3% to a 3.25-month low due to the US-Iran agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has eased inflation expectations; while this provides short-term support for stocks, the long-term effects remain to be seen.
