On June 17, options traders' views on the Federal Reserve's recent rate path have become increasingly divergent, with various bets ranging from expectations of rate cuts in the coming months to differing degrees of rate hikes. Swap market pricing indicates that it is almost certain the Fed will maintain rates at its meeting on Wednesday, with all eyes turning to Chair Waller's first press conference for clues about future policy. Although the U.S. and Iran are set to formally sign a temporary peace agreement, leading to a drop in oil prices to a three-month low and providing some relief to inflationary pressures, future policy remains uncertain.

On June 17, CNBC reported that the Federal Reserve will release its latest dot plot on Wednesday, showing officials' expectations for interest rate trends. However, most Wall Street Fed watchers expect that new Fed Chair Waller may not participate, either because he feels unprepared or simply because he dislikes the dot plot. Waller has previously expressed opposition to the dot plot and other forward guidance methods, arguing that these approaches limit the Fed's decision-making capabilities. If Waller refuses to provide dot plot expectations, it would contradict nearly 14 years of practice since the financial crisis and could alienate him from other Fed officials who support this communication method. However, for Waller, who has committed to fundamentally reforming the institution's operations, this may be an effective first step. "In my view, he likely does not want to submit interest rate forecasts," said former Fed monetary policy chief and current Yale professor Bill English. "There may be others on the committee who also dislike the dot plot, and they might be willing to do the same." (The image shows the dot plot released by the Fed in March this year.)

The once-dominant Memecoin issuance platform on Solana, Pump.fun, has seen a continuous deterioration in activity, with a significant decline in token graduation rates, platform revenue, and Solana network fees in recent months. Data shows that the seven-day average token graduation rate for Pump.fun dropped to 0.26% last week, marking an 80% decrease over the past three months. Meanwhile, the platform's average revenue from June to date is approximately $800,000, significantly lower than the average daily revenue of about $4.8 million six months ago. In June, Pump.fun's revenue fell by 25% month-over-month, and the token graduation rate decreased by 53% in the same period. This disparity indicates that the platform may still be maintaining some dollar revenue through auxiliary income from PumpSwap AMM trading fees and sponsorship for token listings, but its core function—pushing newly issued tokens to higher market cap stages—has significantly weakened. The decline of Pump.fun is also reflected in the price of the PUMP token, which has dropped about 40% over the past six months. At the same time, trader interest is shifting from Memecoin issuance on the Solana chain to other trading scenarios such as perpetual contracts, further driving down Solana network fees.

On June 17, U.S. intelligence assessments indicated that Iran, after demonstrating relevant capabilities during conflicts, still has the potential to close the Strait of Hormuz again. Although a deal to reopen the Strait is anticipated, Tehran retains capabilities in missiles, drones, speedboats, and mine-laying, which could disrupt global energy transportation.
