9-10-2026: Oil Spikes, Yields Surge + AI Momentum Ahead of Fed Meeting
5m 23s
Michael Reinking, Senior Market Strategist at the NYSE, reviews a tense week as renewed U.S.-Iran conflict and Houthi attacks in the Red Sea pushed oil prices up nearly 10%, with Brent nearing $105 a barrel. That spike reignited inflation fears, driving Treasury yields to new YTD highs and pushing odds of a Fed hike next week to roughly 70%, alongside an ECB hike and an expected BOJ move. The S&P 500 fell about 1.5%, testing its 50-day average near 7,600, while AI hardware stocks outperformed and healthcare and materials lagged. Looking ahead, Friday's CPI report sets the stage for next week's FOMC meeting.
