This week, increased attacks in the Gulf region have pushed crude oil prices soaring...
The combination of surging oil prices and economic statistics shows the persistence of inflation in the United States, reinforcing the likelihood that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will raise interest rates next week.
Against a backdrop of rising inflation pressures, global government bond markets continued to sell off. Another notable shift during the week was the sharp rise in the Japanese yen, as investors strongly expect the Bank of Japan (BOJ) to raise interest rates next week and accelerate the pace of tightening thereafter.

Despite hotter-than-expected August 2026 inflation data pushing the likelihood that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) will raise interest rates next week to nearly 90%, bargain-hunting sentiment and confidence in the central bank’s credibility in controlling prices helped Wall Street regain green. By the end of the trading session on 9/11, the Dow Jones Industrial Index surged 509.19 points (equivalent to 0.98%) to 52,573.29 points. The S&P 500 Composite rose 0.86% to 7,656.98 points, while the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.96% and closed at 26,333.04 points. Despite a strong up day at the end of the week, over the full week, all three major indexes still recorded red. The Dow Jones fell 1.6%, after a streak of four consecutive days of declines. The S&P 500 dropped 0.8% and is now about 2% below the mid-August 2026 historical high, while the Nasdaq fell 0.7% and marked its first down week after three weeks.*Market-driving factorsThe US stock market last week saw intense tug-of-war between inflation pressure and investors’ “buy-the-dip” capital flows.After the Labor Day holiday closed on Monday (9/7), Wall Street went through four consecutive days of declines from 9/8 to 9/10. The sell-off was triggered by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which drove Brent crude prices at times above the 107 USD per barrel mark and WTI above 100 USD per barrel on 9/10—its highest level since May 2026.The pressure intensified as long-term bond yields jumped to record highs on unfavorable economic data. The US Producer Price Index (PPI) for August 2026 rose sharply to 5.4% versus 4.8% in July, mainly due to rising energy prices. At the same time, the Treasury’s plan to buy back $6 billion worth of bonds came in below market expectations, pushing the 10-year bond yield to reach its highest level since November 2023 and the 30-year yield to jump to 5.36%—the highest since 2007.However, a remarkable reversal took place on 9/11, when crude oil prices began to cool off from their peak, easing concerns about rising inflation pressure alongside economic deterioration. This development occurred right after the US Department of Labor released core Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for August, which rose 0.3% month-on-month, higher than the forecast. Even though hot inflation data increases the likelihood that the Fed will tighten monetary policy, the market reacted relatively positively.According to the CME financial services group’s FedWatch tool, the probability of the Fed raising rates by an additional 0.25 percentage points at the meeting on 9/15–9/16 surged to nearly 90%, up from 72% recorded the previous day. The stabilization of long-term bond yields in the final-weekend session suggests that investors believe that the Fed, led by Chair Kevin Warsh, will help control inflation effectively over the long term.

🔥 The latest macroeconomic figures just released are creating strong pressure on financial markets in general and the cryptocurrency market in particular:
US PPI index for August: Up 5.4% year-on-year, exceeding expectations of 5.1%.
Interest rate pressure: This data increases bets on the likelihood that the Fed will raise interest rates as the 30-year Treasury yield hits a 19-year high.

The USD continues to weaken on the morning of Monday (7/9) as the likelihood of a Fed rate hike is being questioned, along with the market also ‘tilting’ toward supporting the Japanese yen.

A typical four-year U.S. president cannot enter the White House and immediately replace the entire Fed leadership apparatus.
The U.S. president is the one who nominates the chair of the Federal Reserve (Fed), but that does not mean the White House boss can order the Fed to lower interest rates, nor is it easy to fire the head of the central bank when there is disagreement over policy. Behind this is a power structure that the United States has built over more than a century with a very clear purpose: keeping monetary policy far away from politics.

The Governor of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) said he is leaning toward keeping interest rates unchanged in September if inflation continues to cool.
Fed Governor Chris Waller said recent signals indicate that the fight against inflation is making progress. If the figures in the coming weeks continue to move in the right direction, he will support keeping the federal funds rate at its current level.
