- The Fed and rising Treasury yields remain the key market drivers. Strong U.S. economic conditions and higher energy prices are keeping inflation concerns elevated, while markets are pricing around a 65–68% probability of an October Fed rate hike. The 30-year Treasury yield climbed to around 5.52%, close to its highest level since 2004.
- U.S. equities started the week cautiously. S&P 500 futures are down around 0.3%, while Nasdaq futures are lower by roughly 0.5% as higher Treasury yields weigh on technology and growth stocks. Strong economic activity and continued AI investment are providing some support to equities.
- Gold is under pressure from higher oil prices and Treasury yields. Spot gold was down 2.1% at around $4,198, while silver fell 3.4% to $62.08, platinum declined 2.7% to $1,730 and palladium dropped 2.8% to $1,231.
- The U.S. dollar is holding near a two-month high, with the dollar index around 101.15. Markets are now turning toward a heavy U.S. data calendar, particularly the PCE inflation report and Friday’s nonfarm payrolls, which could have a major impact on Fed expectations.
