The stock market is trading higher to start Fed week
Stocks are solidly in positive territory on Monday as market participants cheer signs of potential peace in the Middle East.
Over the weekend, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced on X “that the Peace Deal between the United States of America and Islamic Republic of Iran has been REACHED.” President Donald Trump later confirmed the news.
At last check, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 1% at 51,928, the broader S&P 500 was 1.9% higher at 7,573, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite had gained 3% to 26,667.
Over in the bond market, the yield on the 2-year Treasury note is down 3.3 basis points at 4.052%, and the 10-year Treasury yield is off 2.4 basis points at 4.461%.

Fed meeting schedule for 2026
The next Fed meeting, which runs from June 16 through June 17, marks the fourth gathering of 2026.
“The committee meets eight times a year, or about once every six weeks,” explains Kiplinger contributor Dan Burrows.
The Federal Open Market Committee “is required to meet at least four times a year and may convene additional meetings if necessary,” Burrows adds, noting that “the convention of meeting eight times per year dates back to the market stresses of 1981.”
Fed meetings last two days and wrap up with the release of a policy decision at 2 pm Eastern Standard Time. This is typically followed by the Fed chair’s press conference at 2:30 pm, though this could change under Warsh’s leadership.
Here is the full remaining Fed meeting schedule for 2026:
June 16 to 17
July 28 to 29
September 15 to 16
October 27 to 28
December 8 to 9
