Wendy's Weekly STOCK MARKET Report "Stock Market Week "Wall Street rallied last week," Presented by Wendy Nelson
Market Week: June 22, 2026
The Markets (as of market close June 18, 2026)
Most markets were closed last Friday in observance of Juneteenth National Independence Day. Wall Street rallied last week as investors displayed optimism over the signing of an initial agreement ending hostilities in the Middle East. Market gains were realized despite the Federal Reserve holding interest rates steady at 3.50%-3.75% following the first meeting under new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. Inflationary pressures continued to influence market developments as the Fed projected the potential for at least one interest rate hike before the end of the year, while upwardly revising its inflation projection to 3.6% (from 2.7% previously forecasted). The interim agreement between the U.S. and Iran also led to a further decrease in crude oil prices, which fell to their lowest levels since early March.
