Market sentimentBearish

Stubbornly high August inflation driven by energy prices amid the Iran war, combined with Saudi Arabia shutting its East-West crude pipeline after Houthi attacks, points to an oil supply shock, further inflation, and potential Fed tightness. Bonds 'going on tilt' with options implying heavier rate pressure adds downside for equities. Offsetting AI strength (Dell +350% YTD on servers) and a new US-Venezuela oil deal are insufficient to counter the geopolitical and inflationary headwinds.
