June repriced global markets around rates, energy, and concentrated risk

June's decisive shift was from expected easing to a world of higher rates, as Fed repricing lifted yields and the dollar while other central banks resisted cuts. Energy diplomacy repeatedly reversed that pressure, first amplifying inflation and then easing supply fears, but the relief remained fragile.

The month also widened from macro repricing into market-structure risk, as AI valuations, private-credit redemptions, and Korean leveraged ETFs exposed how crowded positions could transmit losses. It leaves global markets facing tighter financial conditions, weaker confidence in China's recovery, and less dependable protection from traditional safe assets.
