Highlights
The main economic report on the schedule Friday is University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey due at 10 am ET. The Econoday consensus forecast looks for the sentiment index at 50.0 in the final June report, up from 48.9 in the June preliminary and up from 44.8 in the May final. The improvement reflects lower gasoline prices in June as the US-Iran ceasefire seems to be holding and some oil is flowing through the Strait of Hormuz.
