Market News Briefing — 1 September 2026

Apple is in focus as John Ternus takes over from Tim Cook as CEO on Tuesday, alongside a reported role change for Phil Schiller.
- German DAX futures opened the week lower as domestic inflation accelerated, with the index quoted near 26250 on Tuesday, about 0.2% below the previous close. That follows Friday’s 0.77% advance to a record 26660, led by BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz, as traders assessed Warsh’s hawkish Jackson Hole address. The 10-year Bund yield stood around 3.32%.

- Bullion traded below $4,425 an ounce on Tuesday, near a two-week low, down 0.3% on the day, as higher oil prices and Fed hike expectations weighed. Gold still gained about 10% in August after the U.S. Treasury announced plans to double liquidity-support buybacks of longer-dated bonds.
- Brent futures rose 1.07% to $91.46, a second consecutive session of gains, after U.S. forces struck two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island and Tehran attacked targets in the UAE and Jordan.
