🤖 AI Overview

What happened: U.S. stock futures and indices fell on Tuesday and Thursday, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq declining by 0.6% to 0.87%. Inflation fears drove this sell-off, as energy price pressures pushed euro zone inflation to 3.3%, the highest since 2011. In the U.S., the 10-year Treasury yield hit its highest level since January 2025, and Indian shares opened lower on inflation worries. Oil prices jumped after President Trump's Iran threat, stoking inflation fears.

Market impact: Tech stocks, including Nvidia and Micron, slid due to higher bond yields, which make growth stocks less attractive. Energy stocks rose on higher oil prices. The likelihood of a September rate hike by the Federal Reserve increased to 57%, pressuring stocks. Salesforce shares dropped steeply, weighing on the broader market.

What to watch next: On September 21, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will announce its decision on interest rates, which could influence market sentiment. On September 22, the S&P 500 companies will report earnings, providing insights into corporate health. Additionally, oil prices will remain in focus, as any further escalation in geopolitical tensions could drive inflation expectations higher.
