Keywords or Headings for the week ended:

1. Oil price sharp decline - eg WTI crude oil price fell below 75 per barrel on 18 June (Fri), from a high of over 80 at the start of the week. 

2. Fed reserve's Hawkish turn + held rates steady at 3.50%-3.75%

3. US-Iran Strait of Hormuz Agreement - MOU signed

Bonus: Nikkei breaches 70,000 for the first time, driven by aggressive interest rate hikes by Bank of Japan & booming demand for AI memory chips -> acting as tailwind for US Tech companies with heavy APAC exposure.
