BREAKING: The US Financial Conditions Index is down to -1.75, the lowest in at least 2.5 years.
Financial conditions have eased -0.80 points since March as markets recovered.
Most of this easing was driven by equity gains and tighter credit spreads.
By comparison, the index stood near 0 in March 2025.
This comes despite the market pricing in ~20 bps of Fed rate hikes by the December 2026 Fed meeting, a complete reversal from the 40 bps of rate cuts expected before the Iran War.

BREAKING: Iran says negotiations with the United States have effectively collapsed, accusing Washington of undermining diplomacy through recent military actions and unresolved disputes over frozen Iranian assets, according to Fars.
Iranian officials also rejected reports that Tehran had agreed to transfer part of its enriched uranium stockpile abroad, insisting that nuclear issues are not part of the current negotiations and that major differences with Washington remain unresolved. The latest statements signal a further deterioration in already fragile diplomatic efforts and raise fresh doubts about the prospects for any near-term agreement.
