SOL’s recent dip could be due to investors’ fears fuelled by the Iran-Israel conflict. Moreover, inflation in the US continues to remain above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, fading expectations of an interest rate cut. The Fed may continue to follow its policy of higher rates for longer until there is clear evidence of inflation going down.
