The U.S. military said on Monday that it destroyed six Iranian small boats and intercepted Iranian cruise missiles and drones as Tehran tried to disrupt President Trump’s new effort to reopen commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump told Fox News on Monday that if Iran attacks American vessels, they will be “blown off the face of the Earth.” Asked on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” whether the ceasefire was over or a U.S. attack was imminent, Trump replied, “Well, I can’t tell you that.”
Meanwhile, the 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.42%, and the two-year bond was at 3.93%. The CME Group's FedWatch tool‘s projections show markets pricing a 95.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve leaving the current interest rates unchanged during June’s meeting.
