June 25th - All major U.S. banks passed the Federal Reserves annual stress test, paving the way for billions of dollars in stock buybacks and dividends. This stress test assesses how Wall Street lenders would respond to hypothetical financial system shocks. Unlike previous years, the 2026 test results will not affect capital requirements, as the Federal Reserve continues to revise the test to make it more bank-friendly. This years test assessed how 32 large lenders would withstand severe global shocks under greater pressure in the commercial and residential real estate markets and corporate debt markets. Hypothetical scenarios included a severe global recession, a 39% drop in commercial real estate prices, and a 30% drop in residential prices. Unemployment would also surge to a peak of 10%, with a corresponding decline in economic output. Regulators stated, "Despite absorbing over $708 billion in loan losses under this years hypothetical scenario, total capital decreased by only 1.6 percentage points, remaining above the minimum capital requirements."June 25 - Micron Technology (MU.O) shares surged nearly 14% in after-hours trading, boosted by strong earnings.

Price Analysis of the US Dollar Index: DXY Retreats from 104.00, Rising Wedge Anticipated

During Thursday's Asian session, the US Dollar Index (DXY) fails to continue the previous two days' upward momentum, trading on the defensive around 103.95.

 

In doing so, the dollar index remains near the 20-year high reached earlier in the week, but for the first time in three days, the daily decline is recorded.

 

In addition to highlighting a 12-day-old rising wedge bearish pattern surrounding the multi-day top, the DXY's most recent decline also reveals a multi-day top-adjacent rising wedge formation. The slow RSI also highlights the significance of the chart pattern.

 

However, a decisive breach below 102.90 is required to validate the potential decline to 101.30.

 

During the fall, the 100-SMA and monthly low between 102.65 and 102.35 will serve as intermediate stops.

 

Until the quote continues below the indicated wedge's resistance line, approximately 104.30 as of press time, a recovery appears elusive.

 

After that, a slow climb to the September 2002 high of 109.80 cannot be ruled out.
