The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 4.25%-4.50% during Wednesday&#8217;s June meeting, with Chair Jerome Powell signaling no urgency to cut rates as officials monitor potential tariff-driven inflation impacts. 
What Happened: Sage Advisory managing partner Thomas Urano <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/video/us-equities-dont-fed-cut-201945498.html">told</a> Yahoo Finance that while equity markets may not require rate cuts, the bond market could benefit from easing to move higher.
&#8220;I don't think the market needs a rate cut. The bond market might need one to move higher from here, but I'm not convinced the equity market does,&#8221; Urano said. 
Powell acknowledged &#8220;encouraging&#8221; inflation data but raised the Fed&#8217;s median core inflation forecast to 3.1% from 2.8% in March, attributing the increase to expected tariff effects. 
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) declined slightly following the announcement.

Why It Matters: Urano noted the Fed expects economic growth to rebound in the second quarter before settling into a &#8220;slightly below average growth rate&#8221; in the mid-1.4% to 1.5% range for 2025. This modest growth outlook may not support rising equity multiples but could position the bond market for potential Fed easing in 2026.
The 10-year Treasury yield currently trades at 4.37%. Urano expects the benchmark to remain between 4% and 4.5% for an extended period, while anticipating the two-year note around 4% could rally if the Fed shifts policy lower toward its projected 3.25%-3.50% target range.

U.S. Secretary of State&nbsp;Marco Rubio&nbsp;has called on&nbsp;China to prevent Iran from&nbsp;shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial trade route for global crude oil. Rubio&#8217;s warning comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
What Happened: Rubio called on the Chinese government, which has close ties with Iran, to step in. &#8220;I encourage the Chinese government in Beijing to call them about that, because they heavily depend on the Straits of Hormuz for their oil,&#8221; Rubio <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6374706927112">said</a> during a Fox News interview.  
&#8220;It's economic suicide for them if they do it.&nbsp; And we retain options to deal with that,&#8221; added Rubio.
China is Iran&#8217;s primary oil customer and maintains a friendly relationship with the country.
Following U.S. airstrikes on three key nuclear sites, Iran&#8217;s foreign minister warned that the Islamic Republic &#8220;reserves&nbsp;all options to defend its&nbsp;sovereignty.&#8221; Iran&#8217;s parliament has backed the idea of&nbsp;closing the Strait of Hormuz,&nbsp;but the final decision lies with Iran&#8217;s national security council.
The Strait of Hormuz is a vital trade route, with approximately 20 million barrels of crude oil passing through it daily, accounting for 20% of global consumption. If the Strait were to close for an extended period, oil prices could soar above $100 per barrel, according to experts.
Why It Matters: The recent U.S. strikes on Iran&#8217;s nuclear facilities have sparked concerns about the potential repercussions on global oil prices. China, a key player in this scenario, has&nbsp;warned of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46044009/us-iran-tensions-escalate-as-iran-threatens-hormuz-closure-potentially-rattling-global-oil-markets">spiraling escalation</a>&nbsp;in the Middle East and demanded an immediate ceasefire at the UN. This situation has the potential to significantly impact global oil prices, as market analysts and traders assess the situation.
Earlier, the CEO of Shell,&nbsp;Wael Sawan, had&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/06/46014138/shell-ceo-warns-of-huge-impact-on-global-trade-if-the-strait-of-hormuz-is-blocked-amid-israel-iran-conflict-we-need-to-set-actions-for-a-new-reality">expressed concern</a>&nbsp;over the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, warning of a potential &#8220;huge impact on global trade.&#8221; The Strait of Hormuz, a major artery for the world&#8217;s oil trade, is of strategic importance, and any blockade could send shockwaves through the energy market.
Meanwhile, energy analytics firm&nbsp;Kpler stated that oil prices may surge between 7-10% post US airstrikes on Iran but it may not &#8216;last&#8217;.
China&#8217;s response to the U.S.&#8217;s call and the subsequent actions in the region will be closely watched by the global community, especially given China&#8217;s significant role in the global oil trade.

What Happened: The busy airspace between Iran, Iraq and the Mediterranean has been largely empty since June 13 as Israel launched an attack on Iran, Reuters reported on Monday.
However, several airlines, including Singapore Airlines, Air France KLM, Finnair, and Kazakhstan's Air Astana, have canceled flights to busy airports in the Middle East, such as Dubai, Riyadh, and Doha, the report suggests.
Despite this, some airlines like British Airways are resuming flights to Dubai and Doha, the report added.
Why It Matters: The news comes in as mounting tensions between the U.S.-Israel and Iran have already led to United Airlines Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UAL#NASDAQ">UAL</a>) and American Airlines Group Inc.

However, now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/travel/25/06/46045416/us-issues-worldwide-caution-after-strikes-on-irans-nuclear-sites-state-department-warns-of-airspace-closures-travel-chaos-and-rising-threats-to-americans-abroad">the U.S. State Department </a>has warned of worldwide caution as the tensions could prove to disrupt travel plans through airspace closures and threaten American interests across the globe.

Several Airlines Cancel Flights To Dubai, Riyadh, Doha After US-Iran Tensions Rattle Global Air Travel: Report

In a bold departure from conventional advice, Ben Horowitz, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, once urged Columbia engineering graduates in 2015 to reject the idea of &#8220;following your passion&#8221; and instead focus on the value they can contribute to the world.
What Happened: In 2015, peaking at the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science commencement, Horowitz told students, "Don't follow your passion."
He explained that while many successful people say that they love what they do, the reverse may be true—they may love what they do because they became successful.
"The first tricky thing about passions is they're hard to prioritize," Horowitz said, adding that it is difficult to figure out which a person is more passionate about: math or engineering? Video games or K-pop?

He also pointed out that passions evolve, noting that what someone is passionate about at 21 may not hold the same weight at 40—"true for both boyfriends and career choices," he quipped.
Horowitz warned that people often aren't particularly good at their passions, referencing some American Idol participants who love singing but fall short of professional standards. What he meant was, just because you love something doesn't mean you should do it for a living.
Instead, he urged graduates to focus on what they're good at and how they can contribute to the world. "What you take out of the world over time &#8230; is much less important than what you put into the world," he stated, adding, "My recommendation would be to follow your contribution. Find the thing that you&#8217;re great at, put that into the world, contribute to others, help the world be better and that is the thing to follow."

</div>
</figure>
Why It's Important: Horowitz's message stands in contrast to business titans like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett and Kevin O'Leary, all of whom have publicly advised aspiring entrepreneurs to pursue their passions.
Buffett once advised students <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44065860/warren-buffetts-unconventional-career-advice-dont-save-your-passion-for-later-its-like-saving-up-sex-for-you">not to take jobs just for resume value</a> or slightly higher pay, but to work for people or organizations they admire. He shared a story about an Ivy League graduate who chose a consulting job to build a &#8220;perfect resume&#8221; instead of pursuing his passion.
When asked when he'd follow his true interests, the graduate said "someday," prompting Buffett to compare that mindset to "saving up sex for your old age"—a warning against postponing what you truly want in life.
Amazon founder ​​Bezos has also said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39563534/jeff-bezos-reveals-the-one-secret-to-success-you-can-have-a-job-or-you-can-have-a-career-or">following one's passion is key to true success</a> and fulfillment. In a speech at the George W. Bush Presidential Center's Forum on Leadership, he urged people to turn their passions into careers, not by waiting for purpose to appear, but through hard work, dedication and resilience.
&nbsp;O'Leary, investor and Shark Tank personality, also believes that when you love what you do, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41947081/kevin-oleary-says-great-entrepreneurs-and-great-leaders-want-to-get-up-in-the-morning-and-get-to-work-heres-what-he-says-drives-them">it doesn't feel like work</a>. Last year, he shared that for great entrepreneurs and leaders, pursuing their passion is an expression of who they truly are—it's part of their soul and identity.
The life of Musk is a testament to the power of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/22/07/28124535/5-lessons-we-can-learn-from-elon-musk-to-build-a-better-future-for-ourself-for-our-friends-and-famil">passion-driven success</a>. From a young age, he was deeply interested in technology and engineering. In his entrepreneurial journey, the Tesla CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/46020247/before-the-mars-dream-and-multi-billion-dollar-ventures-elon-musk-just-wanted-a-job-at-netscape-heres-what-he-told-the-ai-generation-about-that">continued to follow his passion</a>, namely things like electric vehicles and sending humans to Mars.

European Medicines Agency Recommends Approval Of Alvotech's AVT06, A Proposed Biosimilar To Eylea, For Eye Disorders Across Europe

Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) CEO Daniel Ek has positioned his investment firm at the forefront of Europe&#8217;s defense tech boom, leading a €600 million ($690 million) Series D funding round in AI-powered military startup Helsing.
What Happened: Prima Materia, Ek&#8217;s investment vehicle, spearheaded the round announced June 17, valuing the Munich-based defense unicorn at €12 billion ($13.8 billion). Major participants included Lightspeed Venture Partners, General Catalyst, Accel, and Swedish aerospace giant Saab, according to company statements, <a href="https://observer.com/2025/06/spotify-daniel-ek-european-defense-tech-startup-helsing/">reported</a> the Observer.
The funding surge reflects Europe&#8217;s accelerated military spending amid rising geopolitical tensions following Russia&#8217;s 2022 Ukraine invasion. Helsing, founded in 2021 by game developer, former German defense official Gundbert Scherf, and AI researcher Niklas Köhler, has rapidly expanded from software development to manufacturing drones, submarines and aircraft.
&#8220;As Europe rapidly strengthens its defense capabilities in response to evolving geopolitical challenges, there is an urgent need for investments in advanced technologies that ensure its strategic autonomy and security readiness,&#8221; Ek stated, according to the report.

Why It Matters: Global defense tech venture capital hit $3 billion across 102 deals in 2024, marking an 11% year-over-year increase, according to Crunchbase data. Helsing&#8217;s round ranks among the sector&#8217;s largest alongside U.S. rival Anduril Industries&#8216; recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/market-summary/25/06/45810158/anduril-raises-2-5-billion-at-30-5-billion-valuation-doubling-in-a-year-as-defense-contracts-grow">$2.5 billion raise at a $30.5 billion valuation</a>.
Ek, estimated worth $10 billion, co-founded Prima Materia in 2020 with early Spotify investor Shakil Khan, pledging €1 billion toward European tech investments over the decade. Previous backing includes longevity startup Epiterna and health-tech venture Neko Health.
Helsing&#8217;s AI-powered military decision-making software has been deployed by Ukrainian forces since 2022, establishing credibility in active combat zones. The company raised €450 million in Series C funding last year, building on Prima Materia&#8217;s initial €100 million 2021 investment.

Teva's Final PEARL Study Data Confirm AJOVY's Sustained Migraine Prevention And Favorable Safety Over Two Years

As tensions continue to mount in the Middle East, maritime data from the region comprising key global shipping chokepoints is flashing red.
What Happened: On Sunday, X user EndGame Macro, quoted a post sharing data that showed a substantial dip in vessel crossings through the Strait of Hormuz and the Suez Canal in recent days.
The downturn spans multiple ship categories, including crude tankers, container ships, and bulk carriers, raising fresh concerns about the mounting geopolitical risk in the Middle East. 
The post notes that westbound and eastbound traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is down 10.8% and 11.4%, respectively. Crude oil tanker activity has fallen by 9% in both directions, suggesting weaker flows from Gulf producers to Asia and Europe.

Even steeper declines were reported in chemical and LPG tankers, down 20.4% and 13.6%, respectively, signaling potential demand slumps and industrial slowdown, particularly in China.
Container ship traffic has plunged 21.1% through Hormuz and nearly 31% through the Suez Canal, pointing to either disrupted supply chains or intentional rerouting to avoid perceived threats, alongside rising insurance costs, and potential for disruptions in the region. 
At the same time, however, the Cape of Good Hope is absorbing portions of this traffic, with a lower pace of decline, clearly hinting at a shift in trade routes, as vessels steer clear of the Red Sea.

Why It Matters: As tensions continue to flare in the region, markets are watching closely after Iran&#8217;s parliament voted to authorize a potential <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46044009/us-iran-tensions-escalate-as-iran-threatens-hormuz-closure-potentially-rattling-global-oil-markets">closure of the Hormuz Strait</a> on Sunday. 
Such a move, however, is predominantly expected to harm China, which is Iran&#8217;s main energy export customer, while the U.S., in contrast, purchases less than 3% of its oil from the Persian Gulf. 
China has likewise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/46046039/china-slams-us-at-un-over-iran-nuclear-strikes-warns-of-spiraling-escalation-in-middle-east-demands-immediate-ceasefire">slammed the U.S.</a> over its strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, saying that it &#8220;exacerbated tensions in the Middle East and dealt a heavy blow to the international nuclear non-proliferation regime.&#8221;
