Yesterday's Recap

US markets closed mixed on September 7 with no economic data releases scheduled. The S&P 500 declined 0.38% to 7,718.60 while the Nasdaq 100 advanced 0.21% to 29,544.15. The Dow Jones fell 0.51% to 53,414.25 and the Russell 2000 gained 0.25% to 2,975.65.

WTI Crude rose 2.70% to 93.95 and gold increased 0.33% to 4,444.50. Bitcoin slipped 0.77% to 78,505.50. Treasury yields declined with the 2-year note at 4.34% and the 10-year at 4.77%.

The dollar weakened against the yen to 154.25 while EUR/USD edged higher to 1.16.

The Day Ahead

The ADP Employment Change Weekly at 04:15 ET represents the sole US release today. Attention shifts to Thursday's Producer Price Index expected at 0.4% month-over-month alongside core PPI at 0.3% and weekly jobless claims near 205,000. Existing home sales are forecast at 3.99 million units.

Friday brings the full CPI report with core inflation projected at 0.2% month-over-month and 2.4% year-over-year. Markets will parse these prints for implications on the 3.63% fed funds rate and Treasury curve. Oil inventory data from API and EIA will also influence energy prices.

Other Economic Notes

US GDP expanded 1.50% quarter-over-quarter annualized in the latest reading with year-over-year growth at 2.10%. Unemployment stands at 4.10% while retail sales rose 5.01% year-over-year. These figures point to moderate expansion amid cooling labor conditions.

Inflation measured by CPI reached 3.30% year-over-year in July. The combination supports a data-dependent policy stance at the Federal Reserve. Treasury markets priced limited near-term easing given persistent price pressures.

Global Macro News

China's August exports surged 25% driving the trade surplus to a record high and supporting global commodity demand. Japan's foreign reserves dropped a record $80 billion in August after yen intervention. The UK drew criticism from the US and Israel over planned sanctions on West Bank goods.

Trump threatened to block US sales of Bombardier jets unless production moves stateside escalating Canada trade tensions. ↓ p.2

Global Macro News (continued)

Egypt's net international reserves hit a record $57.2 billion. Indonesia and other Asian central banks reported rising forex reserves. These developments reinforce dollar weakness and higher oil prices observed in US trading.

Broader reserve accumulation outside the US may limit upward pressure on Treasury yields.

Fed Watch

With the fed funds rate at 3.63% markets monitor incoming inflation data for guidance on future adjustments. Recent stronger oil prices and resilient retail sales have lifted near-term hike probabilities. The 2-year yield at 4.34% reflects expectations that the committee will maintain a restrictive stance until core CPI trends lower.

Forward guidance has emphasized dependence on labor market and price data rather than preset paths. Thursday's PPI and Friday's CPI releases will directly inform whether the 4.77% 10-year yield continues to ease. Absent fresh statements the focus remains on how inflation outcomes align with the 3.30% year-over-year CPI level.

Policy remains data-driven with no vote splits disclosed in recent communications.
