Surging Oil and #RateHikes have markets on edge
🛢️ Oil prices soar. Crude oil pricing surged this week up +9% and topping $100 per barrel. It was driven by more #GlobalTension escalation with Houthis attacks on Saudi energy and as the US and Iran traded more strikes.
😕 Inflation in-line. August #Inflation was in-line with overall CPI and PPI both up +0.4% M/M. However, while expected, #Inflation is still accelerating and likely unable to stop the Fed from #RateHikes at next week’s meeting.
️📉 Market pullback. Markets were pretty pessimistic all week with the S&P 500 ending down -0.8%. However, markets did end on some optimism with a oil pullback on reports of Middle East deal talks between Iran and its neighbors on Friday.
