Nonfarm payrolls increased by 29,000 jobs last month after a downwardly revised 133,000 rise in August, the Labor Department39;s closely watched employment report showed on Friday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast payrolls advancing 90,000. Bets on a second rate rise from the Federal Reserve this month faded after the data. Markets now assign a 15 chance of a hike in October from around 25 before the data. Two top policymakers said this week they wanted more data before deciding what to do next with interest rates. Meanwhile, a move in December is still fully priced in. Schroders senior economist George Brown said today39;s figures may ease some concerns that previous interest rate cuts from the Fed could stoke inflation problems, but that it doesn39;t alter the inflation backdrop. The Fed looks likely to unwind last year39;s cuts, Brown said. The bigger question is whether rates ultimately need to be taken into genuinely restrictive territory to bring inflation back under control. Wall Street futures extended gains after the data.

That helped push techheavy stock markets in Asia higher. Japan39;s Nikkei jumped over 3, and South Korea39;s KOSPI reversed earlier losses to gain 1.7. Taiwan39;s stock benchmark was 0.8 higher. Futures for the US Nasdaq advanced 0.7, while SP 500 futures were up 0.4. European stock futures though slid 0.75, while Asian markets without a high concentration of AI shares were also lower.

The US Commerce Department reported the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index PCE increased 3.4 on an annual basis in August, below the 3.7 estimate of economists polled by Reuters. Separately, the final reading of secondquarter GDP data was revised higher to a 2.2 annualized rate, thanks to solid consumer spending and investments helping to fuel the buildout of AI infrastructure. The rising prices of crude oil from the USIran war and skyhigh diesel fuel costs have stoked inflation worries and pushed US Treasury yields higher. Fed officials have indicated more rate hikes might be needed if price pressures fail to moderate after the central bank raised interest rates by 25 basis points this month. Stocks lost ground heading into the closing bell, however, as the 2year US Treasury note yield, which typically moves in step with Fed interestrate expectations, turned slightly higher on the day. Longerdated yields kept climbing on expectations for solid economic growth.

Stocks fared better, however, largely unfazed by the surge in bond yields and were upbeat in Asia. The rise in borrowing costs has been frontandcentre for investors, given that sovereign yields are an anchor for global markets, a reference price for investing in riskier stocks and a benchmark for mortgages and corporate borrowing. Benchmark 10year US Treasury yields held near their highest point since 2007 at 5.23 in Asia and were set for a rise of nearly 50 basis points bps this month, the largest in about two years. Bond yields move inversely to prices. In Japan, the 10year government bond was poised for a 42 bps surge this quarter. The 2year Treasury yield was flat at 4.889 after New York Federal Reserve President John Williams pushed back against expectations for earlier policy tightening, though yields remain more than 50 bps higher for the month. This is becoming much bigger than another repricing of the next few central bank meetings, said Charu Chanana, chief investment strategist at... https://www.gurutrade.com/news/bonds-set-for-bruising-september-but-stocks-little-fazed-1790764323.html Wed, 30 Sep 2026 09:30:46 +0300 https://www.gurutrade.com/news/equities-down-as-bond-yields-hold-near-multi-decade-highs-1790788920.html Consumer confidence plunges to nearly 1212year low in September, Conference Board says CarMax jumps after posting higher secondquarter profit, revenue FICO slumps as housing regulator pushes for single pricing framework Indexes off Dow 0.26, SP 500 0.17, Nasdaq 0.08 NEW YORK, Reuters US stocks ended the session slightly lower on Tuesday, as government bond yields continued their ascent ahead of inflation and labor market data, while investors assessed comments from Federal Reserve officials for the path of interest rates. Longerdated US Treasury yields rose, with the 30year bond hitting 5.6206, its highest since June 2002. The yield on the benchmark 10year Treasury bond climbed to 5.293 its highest level since June 2007. Stocks pared declines, however, as yields eased from their earlier highs and shorterduration yields were down on the day as oil prices retreated on signs of a recovery in exports from the Middle East and comments from Federal Reserve Bank of New York President John Williams. Williams said the US central bank has time to weigh the data before deciding when to hike interest rates again. Expectations for a rate hike of at least 25 basis points from the Fed at its October meeting declined to 51.5, according to CME FedWatch, in the wake of Williams39; comments, from nearly 70 earlier in the session.

The sevenmonthold conflict in the Middle East has been a key reason for investors repricing inflation and interest rate expectations, while soaring government debt competing with strong bond issuance by global AI companies has also driven yields higher. September is set to mark one of the heaviest bond selloffs in heavily indebted European economies and the US. Yields on French 10year bonds were pinned at their 2008 high of 4.7619 and were set for their biggest monthly rise since 2022, while those on US 10year notes were hovering near their 19year high of 5.27 and were on track for their biggest monthly jump since 2024. Sovereign yields are an anchor for global markets, a reference price for investing in riskier stocks and a benchmark for mortgages and corporate borrowing.

Crude prices had jumped after US President Donald Trump rejected a peace deal from Iran but pared gains on expectations that Qatari mediators would hold talks with the two countries to find a possible deal. After retreating from highs at the start of the month, oil prices have accelerated higher in recent days as hopes that a peace deal may be on the horizon have diminished. The rising prices of crude and diesel fuel have fanned inflation worries and pushed US Treasury yields higher, along with comments from Fed officials indicating that more rate hikes might be needed if price pressures fail to moderate after the central bank raised interest rates by 25 basis points earlier this month. Iran is driving oil prices, and oil prices are driving inflation, and inflation is driving interest rates, said Jack Ablin, chief investment strategist and founding partner at Cresset Capital Management in Chicago.

Over the weekend, US President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, claiming Tehran was desperate to make a deal. Trump said talks would continue this week, though Iran shows no sign of watering down its proposals. Brent futures rose as much as 3 to 107.16 a barrel, bringing gains so far this month to nearly 20. Oil futures are nearly 50 above where they were before the war started in late February, while refined product prices have surged even more. A dearth of refining capacity has lifted diesel prices to alltime highs, raising the risk that inflation will become embedded in pricing and wage decisions. Central banks have responded with a round of rate hikes, with the Reserve Bank of Australia likely to be the next to tighten when it meets on Tuesday. Markets now imply a 68 chance the Federal Reserve will hike for a second straight meeting in October, with around 90 basis points of tightening priced out to late next year.

The move will not affect Lumen39;s operations, financial condition or reporting obligations, and shareholders will not need to take any action, the company said. Here are more details Lumen expects its common shares and Qwest Corp39;s notes to be delisted from the NYSE after the market close on October 5. The securities are expected to begin trading on Nasdaq at the market open on October 6, subject to customary closing conditions. Lumen39;s common stock is expected to retain the ticker symbol LUMN. The Qwest notes are expected to continue trading as CTGG and CTHH. Lumen and Qwest have applied for Nasdaq listings and plan to file a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the securities from the NYSE.

But there is no quick resolution and the weekend is approaching so we could see some caution. Despite easing, oil remained above 100 a barrel, keeping government bond yields near recent peaks. Japan39;s 10year bond yield touched 3.115 a level last seen in 1996 .

The session capped a week that was essentially split in two first, restless anticipation in the days before the US Federal Reserve39;s widely expected interest rate hike, followed by the aftermath of that decision.

Monetary policy has been the prime focus this week, as the war in the Middle East nears the sevenmonth mark with few signs of ending, which is keeping oil prices above 100 per barrel and fanning inflation fears. The Japanese currency headed for its biggest daily slide since midFebruary, with the dollar up 1 to 157.54, after the Bank of Japan raised rates to a 31year high of 1.25. The decision, though expected, excited yen bears with two board members dissenting to the hike. The Japanese currency has risen 1.6 so far this month, driven by expectations of a faster pace of hikes from the BOJ and early signs of repatriation from Japanese investors. But the Federal Reserve raised rates for the first time in three years on Wednesday and switched to a more aggressive stance on inflation, which knocked the yen, putting it on course for its worst weekly performance against the dollar in two years, down 2.6. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda said, with underlying inflation approaching 2, the bank39;s policy focus had shifted, and most of the central bank39;s board members... https://www.gurutrade.com/news/stocks-bonds-dip-as-central-banks-hike-rates-1789722611.html Fri, 18 Sep 2026 11:50:50 +0300 https://www.gurutrade.com/news/tech-leads-wall-st-higher-as-oil-eases-yields-dip-1789728590.html Indexes up Dow 0.62, SP 500 1.14, Nasdaq 1.69 Oil dips, but Middle East conflict keeps supply fears alive US SEC tokenized trading exemption lifts cryptolinked stocks Initial jobless claims dip; singlefamily housing starts, pending home sales increase NEW YORK, Reuters Wall Street bounced back on Thursday as easing oil prices, dropping US Treasury yields and solid labor data helped markets move beyond the Federal Reserve39;s first interest rate hike in more than three years. All three major US stock indexes closed sharply higher, driven by a broad, techled rally that put the Nasdaq out front. We39;re seeing interest in the areas of the market that have been hit hard in anticipation of this Fed rate hike, said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth in Fairfield, Connecticut. And people sort of stepping in, doing a little bit of buying on the pullback. We39;re seeing interest in the areas of the market that have been hit hard in anticipation of this Fed rate hike, said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth in Fairfield, Connecticut. And people sort of stepping in, doing a little bit of buying on the pullback.

The U.S. central bank on Wednesday raised rates for the first time since 2023, a widely expected move as it seeks to address persistently abovetarget inflation, despite repeated public calls by President Donald Trump for rate cuts. But markets now confront a very different investment backdrop, including a lack of clarity about how tight the Fed will now seek to make monetary policy. In the face of higher rates, some investors said it could make ratesensitive assets, such as smallcap stocks, less attractive. The meeting does make them look independent...it adds trust to the market, said Matthew Miskin, cochief investment strategist at Manulife John Hancock Investments. Yet the Fed may have come off a little too hawkish in this meeting and we39;re just going to have to see how the economy can react in the next couple of months, he said. Many investors saw the meeting as a test of independence for new Fed chair Kevin Warsh, who was picked by Trump.

After a shaky start, MSCI39;s broadest index of AsiaPacific shares outside Japan was up 0.5, snapping a fourday losing streak, with gains for Korean and Taiwanese shares leading the way. The Nikkei 225 rose 0.3, while SP 500 emini futures were 0.2 higher. The yield on the U.S. 10year Treasury bond was flat at 4.9938 after attempting to retest the 5 mark, having broken through that threshold on Tuesday for the first time in three years. The Federal Reserve will announce its latest policy decision later in the day, followed by a media conference by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh. We maintain our tactically cautiousneutral view into the Fed, JPMorgan analysts wrote, noting that the market consensus expectation is for a 25 basispoint rate hike accompanied by little forward guidance. The meeting could be a clearing event for the market to reset rate hike expectations, they added, but warned inaction risks institutional credibility. If no hike materialises and bond yields extend their rally on higher inflation expectations, the bank anticipates the SP 500 could move 1.251.75 lower.

All three major U.S. stock indexes extended Monday39;s losses as broad riskoff sentiment weighed on nearly every sector but energy. That sector benefited from expanding hostilities in the Middle East, which included new attacks on Saudi Arabia39;s energy infrastructure. Given rising prices for fuel, especially diesel, given the nearcertain outlook for rising rates beginning tomorrow, and given the concerns over the potential slowdown in the AI ecosphere, why step into the market aggressively until some of this clears up? said Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Federal Reserve has convened for its twoday monetary policy meeting, which is due to culminate on Wednesday with the central bank39;s rate decision. With recent economic data showing the labor market on solid footing, while warrelated energy price pressures are morphing into broader, systemic inflation, the central bank is expected to implement a 25basispoint increase to its Fed funds target rate its first interest rate hike in over three years.

AIlinked shares took an added hit after the leaders of OpenAI and Anthropic called for a slowdown in development to manage risks and protect humanity. On the oil front, Brent climbed almost 3 as new strikes on Saudi Arabia and on ships in the Gulf strained nerves, after an attack on a Saudi oil pipeline and an advance by Yemen39;s Houthis threatened to worsen the wartime disruption to global energy supplies. A meeting in Oman between Iran and Gulf Arab states, scheduled for Monday to discuss a deal on opening the Strait of Hormuz, was postponed. With shipping through the strait and the Bab elMandeb under threat, analysts fear oil prices could stay elevated for a lengthy period, stoking inflation globally.

AI server maker Dell soared 12 to a record high. Hewlett Packard Enterprise jumped 12 and HP gained 8.4 after Oracle39;s quarterly results topped estimates. Oracle dipped 1.8. U.S. consumer prices accelerated last month as the cost of gasoline rebounded after two straight monthly declines, adding pressure on the Fed to tighten monetary policy to fight inflation. Interest rate futures now reflect a nearly 90 probability that the central bank will raise rates at its policy meeting on Wednesday, according to the CME FedWatch tool. That is up from a 72 likelihood on Thursday. That39;s pretty much as close to a slam dunk as you39;re going to get, said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at GLOBALT Investments in Atlanta.

Brent crude hit a fourmonth high of 109.97 a barrel on Friday after a 6 jump the day before, but it soon ran into selling pressure and was last down almost 2 at 105.90. It was still set for a weekly rise of about 10. Oil flows remained restricted through the Strait of Hormuz as the U.S. and Iran traded attacks, while Iranaligned Houthis seized control of Yemen39;s port of Mocha, threatening Saudi oil exports in the Red Sea. That was a wakeup call for markets that are starting to price in the risk of a protracted war. Comments from President Donald Trump that the war could last beyond the November midterm elections haven39;t helped, with bond yields surging globally on heightened inflation fears. Markets are pricing in a scenario of higher rates for longer, said Gustav Helgesson, macro strategist at SEB.

Heavyweight chipmakers lost ground, with Nvidia down 2.3 and Micron Technology losing 4.7, both weighing on the SP 500. Apple rallied 3.6 a day after launching a 1,999 iPhone. With supply routes through both the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea disrupted by the U.S.Israeli war on Iran, Brent crude jumped 6 to 107 a barrel, adding to inflation worries and fueling expectations the Fed will raise interest rates at its policy meeting on Wednesday. Yields on 10year Treasury notes rose to their highest in nearly three years, while 30year Treasury yields hit their highest in more than 19 years and 2year Treasury yields reached their highest in more than two years.

Benchmark 10year U.S. Treasury yields held steady at 4.8407 after scaling their highest since 2023 in the previous session as the Treasury Department announced a 6 billion buyback of longerdated bonds that disappointed some investors. Brent crude futures eased to 101.11 per barrel, having broken through the psychological 100 mark on Wednesday for the first time since July as traders grappled with the prospect of inflationary pressure. OR I think that Brent pushing through the 100 level will be seen by many in the market as a significant event in the current scheme of things, said Nick Twidale, chief market strategist at ATFX Global.

Worries about the global oil supply and a flareup in Middle East tensions pushed Brent crude above 100 a barrel, a sensitive level for the stock market. The U.S.Israeli war on Iran, now in its seventh month, has stoked fears of a broader regional conflict, with high oil prices fueling inflation. The SP 500 energy index rose 1.1, while all other sector indexes fell. Apple ended down 0.3 after it held its first smartphone launch under new CEO John Ternus. The yield on the benchmark 10year U.S. Treasury note climbed to its highest since November 2023 after the Treasury Department said it would buy up to 6 billion in 10 to 20year government bonds. Some analysts had expected a larger purchase, in the range of 8 billion to 10 billion. Higher yields on riskfree government bonds make it less attractive for investors to own stocks.

The yen strengthened towards the nearly sevenmonth high touched against the dollar on Tuesday as traders exited short positions in the Japanese currency amid expectations for faster Bank of Japan interest rate hikes and a potential rush of repatriation of Japanese capital. The euro edged higher ahead of the European Central Bank39;s policy decision on Thursday, with markets widely expecting a hike amid inflationary pressures from the Iran war.

The yen jumped as much as 1 to 152.89, its strongest level since February 18, as investors unwound an estimated 2.35 trillion in yenfunded carry trades. The yen has rallied to its strongest level since February, driven by a sharp unwinding of shortyen and carrytrade positions as investors price in faster Bank of Japan tightening, said Joel Kruger, market strategist at LMAX Group in London.

All three major U.S. indexes closed lower amid a broad selloff ahead of the threeday holiday weekend. For the week, the indexes were essentially unchanged. The Labor Department39;s August employment report showed the U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs last month, nearly three times the 56,000 consensus, while the department revised June and July payrolls upward by a total of 55,000 jobs. Labor market participation increased while the unemployment rate held firm at 4.1. While a strongerthanexpected jobs report would generally be good economic news, markets are interpreting it as a sign the datadependent Fed will implement a rate hike at the conclusion of this month39;s policy meeting to curb warrelated energy price pressures from morphing into broader, more systemic inflation. The labor market had a nice snapback last month, and it39;s hard not to think an improving labor market is not a positive development for the economy, said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group in Omaha, Nebraska.

The dollar39;s retreat had run its course as the prepayrolls doldrums set in, but it left the yen set for a weekly rise of 2.3 its best since late July, when Japan and the U.S. conducted a rare joint intervention to halt a relentless slide in the Japanese currency. Europe39;s main stock markets opened only fractionally higher, meanwhile, as renewed rises in both oil and the region39;s gas prices bolstered ECB ratehike bets. Nasdaq futures climbed 0.4 and SP 500 futures rose 0.1. In remarks for a Reuters NEXT Newsmaker event, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said that recent data suggested some signs of disinflation and that, if upcoming reports reinforced that trend, he would favour holding rates steady at this month39;s policy meeting. Futures were quick to scale back the chance of a rate hike this month to just 50, from about 63 a day ago.

All three major U.S. stock indexes gained ground, with the smallcap Russell 2000 outperforming its largercap peers, rising 1.1. On the sector level, airlines, gold and silver miners and regional banks were the frontrunners, while software and services, seen as potential victims of AI disruption, underperformed on the day. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor Index, which has powered much of the stock market39;s gains so far this year but has lost nearly onefourth of its value since late June, was on the rise, with chipmaker Broadcom expected to deliver secondquarter results after the bell. Nvidia, the chipmaker at the forefront of the AI wave, rose 3.2, while Micron and Qualcomm gained 2.4 and 2.0, respectively.

MSCI39;s broadest index of AsiaPacific shares outside Japan tumbled 2 as South Korea39;s KOSPI dropped almost 4, while the Nikkei 225 was down 2.9. SP 500 emini futures were down 0.1. Brent crude futures extended gains into a second day as trading resumed in Asia, rising 0.9 to 95.45 a barrel after the U.S. launched a barrage of airstrikes on Iran on Tuesday, which earlier pushed oil prices to a fiveweek high. The threat of further disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz has brought about renewed anxiety over inflation, driving a selloff in stocks across most major markets and a rout in global bond markets, Westpac analysts wrote. The yield on the U.S. 10year Treasury bond hit an intraday high of 4.8122, its highest level in almost three years, while the yield on the 10year Japanese government bond rose 2 basis points to 3.015, extending its climb after reaching a threedecade high earlier this week.

All three major U.S. stock indexes began the month on a sour note, closing decisively lower as rising hostilities in the Middle East drove up oil prices. Global sovereign debt yields rose to multiyear highs as markets increased their bets that central banks will need to hasten their interest rate hikes. The benchmark U.S. Treasury yield continued to edge higher after reaching a 19month high on Monday. Following Kevin Warsh39;s hawkish comments on Friday, we have strikes in Iran and oil is higher, said Ross Mayfield, investment strategy analyst at Baird in Louisville, Kentucky, referring to the Federal Reserve chair. It is the perfect cocktail for a riskoff day in a market that is trading near alltime highs. Seasonal weakness could also be weighing on investor sentiment. September is the only month with a negative average return since 1926, according to Fisher Investments, which cited data from Finaeon. September is the worst month historically and by a large margin.

Japan39;s 10year benchmark hit 3 for the first time in a generation. The 10year U.S. Treasury yield, a benchmark for prices across asset classes, has broken resistance at 4.75 to stand at 4.78 its highest since early 2025. Futures for French and German debt extended selling that drove yields to 15year highs and the rise in Australia39;s 10year yield was the sharpest for five months. I think there is now something of a sense of resignation tinged with helplessness about rising interest rates, said Ryutaro Kimura, a senior strategist at BNP Asset Management in Tokyo, of the march upward in Japanese borrowing costs, which for years have been such a reliable anchor for world markets. Higher oil prices and rising U.S.Iran tensions are stoking worries about inflation, which is negative for bonds, just as Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh has reset expectations for the rates outlook. At the same time skyrocketing sovereign borrowing has investors starting to demand higher premiums for lending.

Spiking oil prices dampened investor risk appetite and sent benchmark U.S. Treasury yields higher, as investors processed U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh39;s hawkish tone on Friday in his speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium. Despite the broad selloff, all three major U.S. stock indexes posted monthly gains. The Nasdaq showed the largest percentage growth for August as the AI trade remained alive, despite recent weakness. The bluechip Dow nabbed its fifth consecutive monthly advance. We heard from Warsh last week, and the odds now favor a rate hike in September, said Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel in Charlottesville, Virginia. Throw that into the mix of continued hostilities in the Middle East. And the week before Labor Day, there39;s a lot of people who are out of the office, so weird things can happen, Tuz added.

Brent futures climbed 2.7 to 90.51 a barrel after U.S. forces struck two of Iran39;s launchers on its island of Larak on Sunday. In response, Iran attacked U.S. forces stationed in Jordan and claimed to have hit a tanker moving through the strait. President Donald Trump later posted that Kharg Island, Iran39;s main oil terminal, was being blown to smithereens, though there was no confirmation of this from the military. The resulting risk to inflation kept bond markets on edge after Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh emphasised on Friday the central bank had work to do to control inflation. Markets reacted by lifting the probability of a September rate increase to 57, shoving shortterm Treasury yields sharply higher and flattening the curve. We continue to expect that a hike won39;t come until December, though agree that the September meeting is live, said Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan.

Without confidence that inflation is heading clearly and with sufficient speed to the Fed39;s 2 goal, the central bank would have more work to do, Warsh said in his first Jackson Hole speech. Traders added to bets on a September rate hike after Warsh also said he felt recent inflation data did not suggest a change in trend. Traders are now split between a rate hike and a hold in September, as they were before inflation data this month painted a mixed picture. Why the market is modestly reacting is he Warsh is very adamant that the 2 inflation target is going to remain. He is reiterating the hawkishness, but in a more of a consistent way than an incremental way, said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist for Nationwide. There39;s been somewhat misguided thoughts among investors that this would soften a little bit. Clearly, that39;s not the case.  Warsh39;s speech rounds out a busy week packed with results from corporate heavyweights such as Nvidia and Salesforce,... https://www.gurutrade.com/news/wall-street-falls-as-fed-s-warsh-vows-inflation-fight-1788184033.html Mon, 31 Aug 2026 08:10:32 +0300 https://www.gurutrade.com/news/us-stock-funds-see-largest-weekly-outflow-since-march-1788163997.html Aug 28 Reuters U.S. equity funds recorded their largest weekly outflow in five months in the week to August 26, as investors reassessed the outlook for artificial intelligence ahead of Nvidia39;s earnings and awaited potentially pivotal remarks from Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh. Investors withdrew a net 22.33 billion from U.S. equity funds during the week, marking the largest weekly net sales since March 18, according to LSEG Lipper data. Nvidia on Wednesday projected a 70 rise in revenue for the next fiscal year, easing investor concerns about AI demand despite persistent supply constraints. Market attention has shifted to Warsh39;s scheduled comments at Friday39;s Jackson Hole Symposium after three Fed officials cautioned that elevated inflation could prove persistent. Investors pulled a net 24.73 billion from U.S. largecap equity funds, marking their biggest weekly net sales in five months. However, they added 2.24 billion to midcap funds and 794 million to smallcap funds. U.S. sectoral funds attracted about 505 million in net inflows. Technology funds led the gains, drawing 1.81 billion, while financialsector funds recorded net sales of 1.42 billion. U.S. bond funds remained popular for a 19th consecutive week, attracting net inflows of 7.12 billion.

Oil prices were headed for weekly losses as Iran and Oman had agreed on administering traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and sharing revenues, though Washington has shown little interest in reviving direct talks with Tehran. Brent eased 0.4 to 89.33 a barrel but was set for a weekly drop of over 5. MSCI39;s broadest index of AsiaPacific shares outside Japan edged up 0.2, while Japan39;s Nikkei rose 0.5. Taiwanese shares gained 0.8 after Nvidia jumped nearly 9 overnight after the chipmaker reported robust results and signalled the AI spending boom has years left to run. South Korea39;s KOSPI, however, fell 1.5, and Hong Kong39;s Hang Seng rose 0.4. SP 500 futures and Nasdaq futures were off 0.2, while EURO STOXX 50 futures edged up 0.3. All eyes are on the Federal Reserve39;s Jackson Hole Symposium where Chair Kevin Warsh is slated to speak later in the day. Three Fed officials have already sounded the alarm about sticky inflation but the new central bank chief has resisted providing forward guidance about where interest rates are going.

Nvidia shares jumped 8.7 after the chip company39;s robust forecast met lofty investor expectations, bolstering the view that the tech rally still has room to run as companies at the heart of AI buildout continue to deliver impressive growth. Nvidia39;s results show that the AI boom is not running out of demand ... while delivering that growth is becoming more expensive and capitalintensive, said Lale Akoner, global market strategist at eToro. Morgan Stanley said in a note on Thursday that Nvidia39;s forecast for revenue growth of 70 next year is well above Morgan Stanley39;s estimate for a 52 rise and that the consensus estimate is closer to 40. We would expect Nvidia to continue to knock down barriers to higher growth, said analyst Joseph Moore in the note. Nvidia has warned that shortages of memory components could curb the pace of the industry39;s growth.

A Commerce Department report showed annual U.S. inflation increased 3.7 in the 12 months through July, a touch above expectations. Separate data showed the economy grew 1.5 in the second quarter. The latest print added another wrinkle to the Federal Reserve39;s policy outlook, raising the stakes for upcoming economic data. Investors will focus sharply on Fed Chair Kevin Warsh39;s Jackson Hole speech on Friday. It wasn39;t enough to shift the balance for September39;s meeting, but if subsequent data point in the same direction, the Fed may feel more pressure to move off the sidelines, said Ellen Zentner, chief economic strategist for Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. The central bank39;s next scheduled meeting is in September, putting the policy decision in focus during what is historically a weak month for equities.

It39;s hard to describe this as anything other than an investment boom, said Sameer Samana, head of global equities and real assets at the Wells Fargo Investment Institute. It seems like the boom will continue into next year. The SP 500 will end 2026 at 7,900, 2.9 above Tuesday39;s close, according to the median estimate of 46 strategists, analysts and portfolio managers polled between August 12 and 25.

RECORD HIGHS REACHED IN AUGUST Strategists39; estimates have increased since a Reuters poll in May, when they expected the SP 500 to end 2026 at 7,620.

Iran said it had restarted talks with Oman to manage the Strait, as it faces heightened economic pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump in the nearly sixmonth conflict that has roiled oil markets and stoked global inflationary worries. Brent crude futures fell for a third straight day on Wednesday, sliding more than 2 to 86.41 per barrel on the prospect of more supply coming through the strait, which handled a fifth of the world39;s traded oil before the war. That helped push bond yields lower, with the yield on U.S. 10year notes at 4.634 after falling 6.5 basis points on Tuesday. While there was no real progress or details of the IranOman deal, as Iran reiterated that Hormuz will remain shut until conditions are met, price action suggested that markets are quickly pricing in optimism around an interim announcement, analysts at J.P.

The gains could ease investor concerns sparked by a recent bond market rout that lifted yields and pressured equities. They could also help set the tone for September, a historically weaker month for stocks. Longerdated Treasury yields fell on Tuesday as oil prices dropped to a oneweek low and traders continued to weigh the implications of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent39;s decision to expand Treasury buybacks.

U.S. Treasury yields were off their recent highs following a report that the Treasury Department might tap into its cash account to finance increased debt buybacks, which could reduce the need for additional sales of shortterm bills. The tech sector is holding its breath for Nvidia39;s results on Wednesday; investors are aware how hard it will be for the chipmaker to meet lofty expectations. Analysts are generally looking for quarterly revenue to almost double to around 92 billion, with fullyear earnings guidance seen in a range of 103 billion to 105 billion. Those are really high expectations to be met, said Fabien Yip, a market analyst at IG. Judging from Nvidia39;s track record, it won39;t be surprising if they meet the headline numbers, but I think the more piece is people are trying to understand whether there are concerns on the circular deals powering its growth and whether that growth percentage is sustainable in the upcoming quarters.
