The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre reports a 5.6-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Aragua, Venezuela.June 28th - According to Politico, on February 28th, when US and Israeli warplanes attacked Iran, Israeli officials initially believed the alliance was entering a golden age. However, four months later, they are preparing for a future where Israel is more isolated than ever before. US Vice President Vance told Israel last week that it has virtually no friends left in the world and should not attack its only remaining powerful ally. But according to seven sources, including US and Israeli officials, Israels problems extend far beyond Vance; Vance is merely a symbol of the new normal where Israels status as a US ally no longer takes precedence over any other country. The tensions between the two sides are palpable. One source revealed that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was scheduled to visit Washington five times in 2025. This year, however, he only visited once, in February, and telephone contact has significantly decreased.Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu: We are close to controlling 70% of the Gaza Strip and surrounding Hamas.June 28 - According to foreign media reports on the 27th, citing official Iranian data, Irans inflation rate in June rose sharply to 88.6% year-on-year, affected by the Middle East conflict.On June 28, Iran launched a drone strike on Bahrain on Saturday, while simultaneously attacking a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, possibly in response to a US nighttime airstrike. The attacks in the Persian Gulf once again demonstrate that even with a provisional agreement between Iran and the US attempting to reach a final ceasefire, the Iran-Iraq war could still spiral out of control. This comes after the US Central Command stated that it launched strikes against Iran on June 26 in response to the attack on a merchant ship. Meanwhile, the International Maritime Organization announced on Saturday that it would widen the strait near Oman to allow two-way passage. This move could reignite tensions with Tehran, which views the strait as a key bargaining chip in ongoing negotiations with the US.

Despite a jump in Treasury yields and economic data that indicated consumer inflation was falling but not quickly enough for the Fed to halt its intentions to keep increasing interest rates, the benchmark S&P 500 Index and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite finished higher on Friday.


Numerous studies from the Commerce Department and the University of Michigan revealed that although consumer spending, which makes up roughly 70% of the U.S. economy, is slowing down, inflation also seems to be.


Coming home sales registered a surprise boost, and consumer confidence rose more than anticipated, despite the Fed's expectation to hike rates throughout the new year and the widespread forecast of a recession in 2023 among experts.


The S&P 500 Index ended the day on Friday at 3844.82, up 22.43 or +0.59%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 33203.93, up 175.44 or +0.53%, while the NASDAQ Composite ended at 10497.86, up 21.74 or +0.21%.
