US market summary
Equity indexes trade mixed as geopolitical volatility persists
Major U.S. stock indexes showed divergent performance on May 18, 2026, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining 0.3% while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 closed lower. Investors reacted to shifting developments in the Middle East after a planned military strike on Iran was suspended to allow for further negotiations. Despite the broader market volatility, equity valuations continue to find support from strong first-quarter corporate earnings, which are tracking a year-over-year growth rate of approximately 28%.

The downturn followed an announcement that planned military actions in the Middle East would be postponed for diplomacy. However, energy analysts remain cautious, noting that structural supply constraints and ongoing logistical bottlenecks in the Strait of Hormuz could keep Brent prices averaging near $110 per barrel through the second quarter.

Federal Reserve maintains high rates as inflation pressures linger
Market expectations for interest rate cuts have been pushed back to late 2026 as the Federal Reserve navigates sticky inflation and a resilient labor market. Recent FOMC assessments suggest a 'higher-for-longer' policy outlook, with the target funds rate likely remaining between 3.5% and 3.75% for the remainder of the year. Rising energy costs and stronger-than-forecast hiring in April have reinforced the central bank's cautious stance toward monetary easing.
