What happened

The stock market continues to bet on some sort of a resolution to the war with Iran, but there are no shortages of other risks heading into a new month.

Why it matters

Stocks ended the month of May at all-time highs, continuing their rebound off the March lows on growing confidence that the Strait of Hormuz will reopen soon.

Common ground

This week gave some hint into what a response to a resolution would be like, as bond yields declined, oil prices retreated and the major stock averages rallied on hopes the Trump administration is nearing a peace deal.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
