Three major developments in the past week are reshaping the investment landscape for the second half of 2026. SpaceX completed its June 12 IPO at $150 per share and has risen about 23%, with the individual-investor tranche heavily oversubscribed. The June 17 U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding reopened the Strait of Hormuz, sending Brent Crude below $80 a barrel from $111 a month ago. The Federal Open Market Committee issued a unanimous statement on June 17 signaling likely rate hikes to tame inflation, which may pressure small-cap growth stocks. Investors are advised to build cash for upcoming Anthropic and OpenAI IPOs, reconsider fuel-price-sensitive sectors, and check exposure to small-cap growth names.
