A snapshot of the key narratives shaping the week starting June 22.

Crypto markets are attempting to shake off a heavy macro backdrop after a string of major central bank moves, led by the Bank of Japan’s historic rate hike to 1.0% and new Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh’s retooled FOMC framework.

Traders begin the week balancing easing concerns around energy-driven inflation with rising expectations that liquidity could tighten in the near term.

The signing of the U.S.-Iran peace deal has eased geopolitical tensions by reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but it has also dulled the appeal of safe-haven assets. Capital is now rotating toward a dense calendar of U.S. economic data, with Thursday’s Core PCE print in focus as a key gauge of inflation trends.

Bitcoin continues to hold above the critical $64,000 level, signaling that the macro pressures weighing on digital assets in recent months may be starting to ease.
