US oil rigs totaled 440 in the week to June 26, up from 433 the previous week.

KCNA reported on June 26 that N. Korea leader Kim Jong Un observed weapons tests on June 25 focused on artillery and missile modernization. Tests included an upgraded 240mm 24-tube rocket launcher with automated fire control and indigenous precision guidance, range extended to 90 km; a tactical ballistic missile fitted with a "special mission" warhead said to be intended for lethal, destructive strikes on enemy airports, ports and power facilities; and a 155mm self-propelled gun trialing an extended-range projectile reaching 65 km. Kim said the tests demonstrate major technical progress in automation, range and ultra-precision.

SEB chief strategist Jussi Hiljanen said in a note that as markets priced higher odds of a durable US–Iran peace the US 10-year Treasury yield rose to 4.40% and is likely to trade around that level over the coming months. “We expect the US 10-year yield to lack a clear trend in the coming months, trading mostly in a 4.30%–4.50% range,” he said. SEB said a durable Middle East settlement alone is unlikely to push UST yields into a sustained downtrend; that would require supportive macro data and explicit Fed policy communication.
