Treasury yields and oil prices push US stocks toward a losing week
US stocks face a losing week as rising oil prices and Treasury yields near multi-year highs pressure equity markets. While stock futures showed some recovery and yields slipped slightly in European trade, investors remain cautious ahead of critical inflation data. The market is currently pricing in higher probabilities of Federal Reserve rate hikes at next week's meeting due to a firm inflation backdrop. This trend has driven equity losses for four consecutive sessions, offsetting earlier muted movements seen at the start of the week.
Why it matters
Treasury yields act as a benchmark for borrowing costs; when they rise, stocks often fall. The Federal Reserve uses inflation data to decide whether to raise interest rates to cool the economy. Persistent inflation makes rate hikes more likely, which typically weighs on stock valuations.
What is confirmed
- The three major averages are heading for a losing week.
- Treasury yields have reached multi-year highs.
- Higher oil prices and surging Treasury yields have weighed on stocks.
Still unconfirmed
- August inflation held well above Federal Reserve targets.
- Franklin Templeton will buy a majority stake in Europe's Stoneshield Capital.
- Australia proposes My Feed, My Way to allow users aged 16 and older to choose non-algorithmic feeds.
What to watch next
- The release of the key consumer inflation report.
- The Federal Reserve's interest rate decision at next week's meeting.

US Stocks Open Muted Following Strong Jobs Data
US stocks opened largely muted on Friday as stronger-than-expected jobs data boosted expectations that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates this month. The Dow fell 0.19%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq edged higher as investors parsed the latest labor reports. Meanwhile, broader market sentiment absorbed mixed digital asset movements, with Bitcoin dropping below $80,000 following a 76% single-day collapse in ETF inflows, contrasted by weekly US-listed BTC ETF net inflows reaching $986.9 million for the week ending September 4.
Why it matters
Labor market indicators directly shape Federal Reserve monetary policy decisions regarding interest rates. Investors closely track employment signals alongside upcoming inflation metrics to gauge economic direction. Volatility in digital asset funds reflects shifting risk appetite across global financial markets.

AI strength lifts US markets amid geopolitical tension
AI-linked shares pushed the S&P 500 and Dow higher on Wednesday, offsetting losses from renewed US-Iran tensions. This recovery follows three consecutive days of declines for the three major indexes. Investors are currently balancing AI growth against risks from inflation, high Treasury yields, and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike in September. Global AI enthusiasm also extended to Japan, where the Nikkei 225 rose 1.26% driven by SoftBank and other tech stocks.
Why it matters
Nvidia previously overcame a seven-day losing streak by reporting second quarter results that beat expectations and projecting 70% revenue growth for fiscal 2028. The broader market remains volatile due to inflation warnings from Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh.
What is confirmed
- The three major indexes posted their third down day on Tuesday.
- Japan's Nikkei 225 index rose 1.26%.
Still unconfirmed
- Investors are weighing inflation risks and rising bets on a September Fed rate hike ahead of Friday's jobs report.

Nvidia Shares Rise Following Second Quarter Earnings Beat
Nvidia stock recovered from a seven-day losing streak after reporting second quarter results that exceeded Wall Street expectations. The company projected fiscal 2028 revenue growth of 70%, outperforming previous estimates. This rally comes despite broader market volatility, including a decline on Wall Street following warnings from Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh regarding entrenched inflation. Investors previously scrutinized Nvidia's dependence on hyperscalers and the stock's history of falling after four of its last five earnings beats, necessitating a significant performance to maintain its valuation.
Why it matters
Nvidia's valuation depends on its ability to consistently outperform expectations rather than just meeting them. The stock has a pattern of declining after earnings announcements despite beating estimates. Current market sentiment is further complicated by rising 10-year yields and expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike.
What is confirmed
- Nvidia forecasted fiscal 2028 revenue growth of 70%.
- Nvidia beat earnings estimates for five consecutive quarters.
- Nvidia shares fell after four of its last five earnings announcements.
- Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh warned about entrenched inflation.
Still unconfirmed
- Retail traders view the QNX-Hailo partnership as an inflection point for BlackBerry.

Nvidia shares rise after exceeding Q2 earnings expectations
Nvidia shares and broader tech stocks gained following the release of second quarter results that topped Wall Street expectations. The company forecasted fiscal 2028 revenue growth of 70%, surpassing previous estimates. This report follows a seven-day losing streak and intense market scrutiny regarding the company's reliance on hyperscalers. While Nvidia has beaten earnings estimates for five consecutive quarters, the stock has historically fallen after four of those announcements, putting pressure on the company to provide more than just a standard beat to sustain its valuation.
Why it matters
Market participants viewed these results as a litmus test for the artificial intelligence sector. Investors specifically sought evidence that enterprise buyers could sustain growth as hyperscalers reach their limits. Options data prior to the report suggested a potential price swing of $280 billion.
What is confirmed
- Nvidia exceeded second quarter expectations.
- Nvidia forecasted fiscal 2028 revenue growth of 70%.
- Nvidia has beaten Wall Street earnings estimates for five straight quarters.
Still unconfirmed
