Yesterday's Recap

US equity markets closed lower across the board on September 8. The S&P 500 dropped 0.58% to 7,673.52, the Dow Jones fell 1.18% to 52,786.07, and the Russell 2000 declined 0.52% to 2,960.20. Treasury yields moved higher, with the 2-year yield reaching 4.37% and the 10-year yield at 4.78%.

Oil prices climbed 2.10% to 94.98 while gold advanced 1.13% to 4,443.40. The only scheduled US release was the MBA 30-year mortgage rate, which printed at 6.79%. No immediate market reaction followed the mortgage data.

Broader sentiment reflected caution ahead of the upcoming inflation prints. USD/JPY closed at 153.55, EUR/USD at 1.16, and GBP/USD at 1.35.

The Day Ahead

Markets will receive the ADP Employment Change Weekly at 4:15 ET and API Weekly Crude Oil Stocks at 12:30 ET today. Tomorrow brings high-impact releases including Producer Price Index MoM (consensus 0.4%), Core PPI MoM (consensus 0.3%), Weekly Jobless Claims (consensus 205,000), and Existing Home Sales (consensus 3.98 million). EIA crude and gasoline inventory data follow later in the morning.

Friday’s Core CPI MoM (consensus 0.2%) and headline CPI MoM (consensus 0.4%) will dominate attention. These prints will directly shape expectations for the 3.63% Fed funds rate path and Treasury yield movements.

Other Economic Notes

US GDP growth ran at a 1.50% annualized rate in the first quarter while year-over-year growth stood at 2.10%. Unemployment held at 4.10% in August and retail sales rose 5.01% year-over-year through July. CPI inflation registered 3.30% year-over-year as of July.

These readings show moderate expansion alongside persistent price pressures that keep the 3.63% policy rate in focus. Housing and labor data due this week will test whether the slowdown in activity is broadening.

Global Macro News

Canada imposed new tariffs on $20 billion of US exports, hitting states with heavy manufacturing exposure. President Trump threatened to block Bombardier jet sales in the United States, pushing the company’s shares lower. Canadian Prime Minister Carney called retaliation unavoidable and accused Washington of seeking dependency rather than partnership.

China’s August exports surged 25%, lifting its trade surplus to a fresh record and underscoring resilient global demand. Japan’s foreign reserves fell a record $80 billion in August after yen intervention. The UK drew criticism from both the United States and Israel over planned sanctions on West Bank goods.

These developments add external pressure on US trade balances and dollar crosses.

Fed Watch

The Federal Reserve left the policy rate at 3.63% after the September 7 meeting. Recent communications emphasized modest economic growth and consumer caution over rising prices. No new speeches or data shifted the outlook in the past session.

Markets priced steady policy while 2-year and 10-year yields rose modestly. Speculation around potential leadership changes, including Kevin Warsh, remains secondary to incoming inflation data. The committee will watch Friday’s CPI release closely for any signs that could alter forward guidance on the current rate path.
