Market participants looked ahead to this week’s release of the US final Q1 GDP figures and the May PCE Price Index for further guidance on the Federal Reserve’s policy outlook at its upcoming meeting, following the Fed’s decision to leave interest rates unchanged last week.

Investors also kept a close watch on US–Iran peace talks against the backdrop of continued Israeli strikes across southern Lebanon, despite ongoing diplomatic efforts.
