Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared a special state of emergency, warning that “a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future.” US officials confirmed that the United States had no involvement or role in the operation.

Earlier this week, softer-than-expected consumer and producer inflation figures reinforced expectations for additional interest rate cuts by the Fed later this year.
