Several Fed officials expressed concerns about the high prices of risky assets such as the stock market, and noticed that financial conditions continued to be loose after interest rates hikes in March. The possible explanation is that investors' risk tolerance has increased, which will push up the prices of risky assets across the board. They believe that too low volatility and low equity premiums both exacerbate the risk of future financial system stability.

Previously, the media quoted four Russian government officials as saying that Russia will oppose any further production cuts at the OPEC meeting in July, and the Russian side hopes to stick to the current OPEC agreement.
According to reports, Russian officials familiar with the matter said that they will increase production cuts shortly after the agreement to extend the production cuts will send misinformation to the oil market.
