📊 Weekly Market Recap | October 11–17, 2026

📈 Inflation Rises, Putting Pressure on Markets
September inflation came in higher than expected, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 3.7% year over year, up from 3.4% in August. Producer prices also increased sharply, raising concerns that higher business costs could eventually be passed along to consumers.

🏦 The Fed Faces a Difficult Decision
With inflation remaining elevated and economic growth showing signs of slowing, the Federal Reserve faces a challenging balancing act. Raising interest rates could help control inflation but may also increase borrowing costs and put additional pressure on the economy.

📉 Stocks Retreat as Investors Weigh Inflation Concerns
Markets experienced renewed volatility following the inflation reports, with the Nasdaq falling 2% on Friday. Meanwhile, Treasury yields declined as investors sought the relative safety of bonds. Attention is also turning to third-quarter earnings, where early results have shown encouraging growth.

🔍 Looking Ahead:
• Housing Starts & Pending Home Sales
• MBA Mortgage Applications
• Leading Economic Indicators
• Weekly Unemployment Claims
• University of Michigan Consumer Survey
• Third-Quarter Corporate Earnings

With inflation concerns resurfacing and earnings season underway, investors will be watching closely for signs of economic strength and clues about the Fed’s next move. Maintaining a long-term perspective remains important as markets navigate short-term uncertainty.

📊 **Weekly Market Recap | September 27–October 3, 2026**

📈 **Treasury Yields Continue to Climb**
Bond yields remained a major market driver last week, with the 10-year Treasury briefly topping 5.3%—its highest level in nearly 25 years. Mortgage rates also moved above 7.3%, keeping borrowing costs elevated for consumers.

🛢️ **Oil Prices Ease, but Other Concerns Remain**
Oil prices fell below $90 per barrel as traffic through the Strait of Hormuz increased. Despite some relief in energy prices, Treasury yields remained elevated as investors continued to weigh inflation, government debt and the federal budget deficit.

💼 **Jobs Report Falls Short, Markets Rally**
The U.S. added 29,000 jobs in September, below expectations, while unemployment edged up to 4.2%. The weaker report reduced expectations for another near-term Fed rate hike, helping stocks rebound on Friday and Treasury yields ease slightly.

🔍 **Looking Ahead:**
• U.S. Services PMI
• ISM Services PMI
• U.S. Trade Balance
• MBA Mortgage Applications
• Federal Reserve Meeting Minutes
• Weekly Unemployment Claims
• Fed Member Speeches
• University of Michigan Consumer Survey

With Treasury yields remaining elevated and signs of a softer labor market emerging, investors will continue watching interest rates and economic data closely. Maintaining a long-term perspective remains important as markets navigate these shifting conditions.

09/29/2026

📊 **Weekly Market Recap | September 20–26, 2026**

📈 **Treasury Yields Push Above 5%**
The 10-year Treasury yield climbed above 5% last week as investors weighed persistent inflation, higher energy prices and concerns surrounding government debt. Rising yields put pressure on stocks, particularly more rate-sensitive areas of the market.

🛢️ **Higher Oil Prices Keep Inflation in Focus**
WTI crude oil moved above $105 per barrel as geopolitical tensions continued to impact energy markets. Higher gasoline and diesel prices have helped keep inflation elevated, adding another layer of uncertainty for consumers, businesses and investors.

🏦 **What Comes Next for the Fed?**
Following its first rate hike since 2023, the Federal Reserve faces a challenging balance between controlling inflation and supporting economic growth. With inflation above the Fed’s 2% target while economic growth remains modest, upcoming employment and inflation data could play an important role in shaping expectations for future rate decisions.

🔍 **Looking Ahead:**
• JOLTS Job Openings Report
• Consumer Confidence
• ADP Employment Report
• Final Q2 GDP Reading
• Personal Income & Spending
• PCE Inflation
• Weekly Unemployment Claims
• September Employment Report & Hourly Earnings

With interest rates, inflation and energy prices all in focus, markets will be watching this week’s economic data closely for signs of where the economy may be headed. Maintaining a long-term perspective remains important as investors navigate short-term uncertainty.

🏦 The Fed Raises Interest Rates
The Federal Reserve raised its target interest rate by 0.25%, bringing the range to 3.75%–4.00%—its first rate hike since July 2023. The Fed emphasized its continued focus on bringing inflation back toward its 2% target.

⛽ Energy Prices Keep Inflation in Focus
August inflation came in at 3.4% over the prior year, with higher gasoline prices contributing significantly to the increase. However, core inflation—which excludes food and energy—eased to 2.4%, highlighting the outsized impact energy costs are currently having on overall inflation.

💻 Technology Stocks See Some Rotation
AI-related stocks faced some pressure after industry leaders raised concerns about the pace of advanced AI development. Meanwhile, investors showed increased interest in areas such as cybersecurity and software, highlighting how differently segments of the technology sector can respond to changing expectations.

🔍 Looking Ahead:
• Fed Member Speeches
• U.S. Manufacturing & Services PMI
• Weekly Unemployment Claims
• New Home Sales
• Durable Goods
• University of Michigan Consumer Survey
