Update on US market on June 19. Federal Reserve downgrades its economic outlook. Stock market awaits correction

S&P500

Snapshot of major US stock indices on Wednesday Dow -0.1%, NASDAQ +0.1%, S&P 500 -0.1%, the S&P 500 closed yesterday at 5,981 trading within the range of 5,600 to 6,200

To the outsider of financial markets, Wednesday might have seemed like just another regular trading day. The main indices showed little change — but it was anything but ordinary.

The day was filled with geopolitical tension and unexpected insights into the Federal Reserve's outlook. The Israel-Iran conflict dominated headlines early in the session. Equities pushed higher on President Trump's statement that Iran still had time for negotiations. Investors found evidence that diplomacy hadn't yet been ruled out despite the US president's earlier comment about running out of patience. So, it was a welcomed development.

Importantly, the president also insisted Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons, adding that the end of this week or next would be memorable, tempering market optimism.

Still, stocks held gains ahead of the FOMC decision and the release of the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) at 2:00 p.m. ET.

Federal Reserve's policy decision As widely expected, the FOMC unanimously voted to keep the federal funds target range unchanged at 4.25–4.50%. However, the SEP painted a mixed picture. While the Federal Reserve still projects two rate cuts by year-end (same as March), it revised its 2025 forecasts upward:

  • PCE inflation estimate increased from 2.7% to 3.0%
  • Core PCE inflation rose from 2.8% to 3.1%
  • Real GDP growth forecast dropped from 1.7% to 1.4%
  • Unemployment forecast increased from 4.4% to 4.5%

Powell's press conference At 2:30 p.m., Fed Chairman Jerome Powell emphasized ongoing uncertainty and stated that more time is needed to evaluate incoming data before adjusting monetary policy. He also warned that inflation could tick higher in the coming months due to new tariffs.

Following the Fed's decision and Powell's comments, stocks pulled back from session highs, and Treasury yields edged up. However, market reaction was relatively muted given the scale of the event.

S&P 500 closed flat. 2-year Treasury yield held steady at 3.95%. 10-year yield rose one basis point to 4.40%.

Investor sentiment was mixed — buying momentum faded, but selling pressure lacked conviction. Of the 11 S&P sectors, four posted gains.

Top-performing sector: information technology (+0.4%). The weakest sectors: energy (-0.7%) and communication services (-0.7%)

WTI crude, which had traded above $75 per barrel earlier, ended up just 0.4% at $73.56. The dip followed Trump's signaling of possible diplomacy with Iran.

Other highlights:

CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) fell 6.2% to 20.26. Weekly jobless claims remained relatively low at 245,000. Housing starts in May dropped to a five-year low

Year-to-date performance:

  • S&P 500: +1.7%
  • Nasdaq: +1.2%
  • DJIA: -0.9%
  • S&P 400: -3.1%
  • Russell 2000: -5.3%

Economic calendar:

Initial jobless claims (week ending June 14): down 5,000 to 245,000 (vs. consensus 253,000)

Continuing claims (week ending June 7): down 6,000 to 1.945 million

Takeaway: Jobless claims remain low, suggesting another strong non-farm payroll gain is likely.

May housing starts: down 9.8% MoM to 1.256 million (consensus: 1.356 million)

Building permits: down 2.0% to 1.393 million (consensus: 1.411 million)

Takeaway: The weakest housing starts since May 2020 as well as a decline in single-family permits (-2.7% MoM) signal subdued near-term construction activity.

Energy market. Brent crude is now trading at $77 a barrel.

Conclusion A correction in the US stock market appears realistic. However, it makes sense to maintain long positions from support levels. New buy positions should be opened only on pullbacks — around 5,760 for the S&P 500, but not above.
