Analysts Flag Four Catalysts That Could Jolt Global Markets Over Next 72 Hours

Analysts warned a “perfect storm” of four catalysts over the next 72 hours could drive volatility across stocks, oil, the yen and crypto. According to BeInCrypto, the risks include a potential US-Iran peace deal that could shrink the geopolitical risk premium but refocus markets on inflation and oil supply dynamics, and post-IPO scrutiny of SpaceX after a record-setting Nasdaq debut as the largest IPO in history. The other catalysts are the Bank of Japan’s June 16 decision, where it is widely expected to confirm a rate hike that could lift the policy rate toward 1% and strengthen the yen, and the Federal Reserve meeting, with markets expecting a pause and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s first major press conference in focus.
