Global Market Weekly Recap: June 9 – 13, 2025

What a week it’s been for global markets. We kicked things off with renewed optimism around US-China trade talks in London, which helped Bitcoin surge past $108,000 and kept risk assets buoyant. Wednesday’s softer-than-expected US inflation data had traders pricing in Fed rate cuts, sending the dollar tumbling to three-year lows against major currencies.

But Friday morning changed everything – Israel’s massive strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities sent shockwaves through markets, with oil prices jumping 5%+, gold pushing toward record highs, and stocks gapping lower as investors rushed to safety. From trade hope to geopolitical chaos in just five days.
