Despite a year-to-date gain of 15.8%, the index remains sensitive to geopolitical instability and signals from Federal Reserve President Kevin Warsh regarding potential interest rate hikes. Military tensions in the Middle East have intensified. Following U.S. strikes on Iranian Revolutionary Guard assets on Larek island, US CENTCOM confirmed a “limited and precise military action” against mining units to prevent the deployment of naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran responded by reporting attacks on airbases in Jordan. Escalation continued as the Iranian Revolutionary Guard confirmed attacks against U.S. targets following U.S. bombings near the Strait of Hormuz.
