08:09 09/15 UTC — Bearish
Market sentiment is overwhelmingly bearish as the US 10-Year Treasury yield surged to a 52-week high of 5.045%. Soaring energy costs and fuel crisis warnings are reigniting inflation fears, driving Fed rate hike expectations above 90%. Consequently, equity futures and tech-heavy ETFs like QQQ are seeing increased selling pressure leading into Fed week.
Global equity markets are experiencing heightened selling pressure as the US 10-Year Treasury yield broke past 5.04%, reaching fresh 52-week highs. Persistent energy cost spikes and warnings of a global fuel crisis are reinjecting inflationary fears into the market, driving market-implied odds of further central bank rate hikes above 90%. High-multiple technology and growth stocks are under acute pressure as elevated risk-free rates compress valuations ahead of key FOMC decisions.
