MARKET UPDATES FOR TODAY: September 1, 2026
📊 US stocks finished lower during market hours on Monday. The S&P 500 slipped 0.33%, while the Nasdaq Composite edged down 0.12%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lagged behind the other major indexes, sliding down 0.7%.
💥 The market downturn was triggered by escalated tensions in the Middle East over the weekend. On Sunday, US Central Command confirmed strikes on Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island, marking the first publicly acknowledged direct fire between US and Iranian forces in a month.
🇮🇷 Following the US strikes, Iranian state media reported that Tehran retaliated by hitting US military bases in Jordan. This rapid exchange of fire abruptly ended a brief lull in hostilities and raised fresh concerns across global financial markets.
🛢 Energy markets reacted immediately to the military action, sending crude oil prices sharply higher. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude settled up 2.83%, while global benchmark Brent crude jumped 2.71%.
🏛 Despite Monday's pullback, Wall Street closed out a solid month of overall growth for August. The Dow recorded its fifth consecutive monthly gain, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posted robust monthly increases of 2.6% and 3.9%, respectively.
💻 Big tech companies drove the bulk of the market gains throughout August, propelled by ongoing momentum in artificial intelligence. Over the month, chipmaker Nvidia surged roughly 10%, Microsoft gained over 9%, and Micron Technology soared more than 16%.
⚠️ Market volatility persisted throughout August as stubborn inflation readings pushed Treasury yields up. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh noted that while recent inflation figures were softer, underlying price pressures have not meaningfully improved enough to guarantee interest rate cuts.
🗓 Traders are now shifting their attention to a busy slate of economic data scheduled for release this week. The key highlight will be Friday's official August employment report, alongside updated monthly performance data for the manufacturing and services sectors.
🏛 Market participants will also monitor geopolitical and economic headlines coming out of Asheville, North Carolina. Finance ministers from the Group of 20 (G20) nations are gathering there this week to discuss global economic conditions and trade stability.
| 2 | ⭐️ Important Market Events For The Week ⭐️
Note: All times are in Singapore Time (SGT)
Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026
9:05 PM: US Fed Governor Michael Barr Speech
10:00 PM: US ISM Manufacturing PMI (Aug)
10:00 PM: US JOLTS Job Openings (Jul)
Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026
8:15 PM: US ADP Private Employment Report (Aug)
Thursday, Sept. 3, 2026
2:00 AM: US Federal Reserve Beige Book
8:30 PM: US Initial Jobless Claims
8:30 PM: US Fed Governor Christopher Waller Speech
8:30 PM: US Revised Nonfarm Productivity & Unit Labor Costs (Q2)
10:00 PM: US ISM Services PMI (Aug)
Friday, Sept. 4, 2026
8:30 PM: US Nonfarm Payrolls (Aug)
8:30 PM: US Unemployment Rate (Aug)
8:30 PM: US Average Hourly Earnings (Aug)
Market Implications:
➡️ US Jobs Report: Friday's Nonfarm Payrolls, unemployment rate and wage growth will likely be the biggest catalysts of the week. These numbers provide a broad picture of the US labor market and could influence expectations for the Federal Reserve's September interest-rate decision.
➡️ JOLTS & ADP Employment: These reports give traders an earlier look at labor-market conditions before Friday's official jobs report. JOLTS tracks job openings, hiring and workers leaving their jobs, while ADP provides an estimate of private-sector employment. Large surprises could move Treasury yields, the US dollar and stocks.
➡️ ISM Manufacturing & Services PMI: These reports show whether two major parts of the US economy are expanding or contracting. Readings above 50 generally indicate expansion, while readings below 50 indicate contraction. Traders will also watch the employment and prices components for clues about growth and inflation.
➡️ Federal Reserve Speakers: Comments from Fed Governors Michael Barr and Christopher Waller could provide more clues about how policymakers view inflation, employment and interest rates. With the next Fed meeting scheduled for Sept. 15–16, comments about the rate outlook could trigger volatility.
➡️ Federal Reserve Beige Book: The Beige Book provides an overview of economic conditions across the Fed's 12 districts. Traders can watch for changes in hiring, consumer spending, business activity and inflation pressures ahead of the September Fed meeting.
➡️ Initial Jobless Claims: Weekly claims provide one of the most current readings on the US labor market. A sustained increase could point to weaker employment conditions, while low claims may suggest that businesses are still holding on to workers.
➡️ Productivity & Labor Costs: Unit labor costs can provide another clue about inflation pressure. Faster labor-cost growth could reinforce inflation concerns, while improving productivity can help businesses absorb higher wages without raising prices as aggressively. | 353 |
| 3 | MARKET UPDATES FOR TODAY: August 31, 2026
⚠️ US stock futures moved lower Sunday night. Dow Jones futures fell 0.16%, while S&P 500 futures slipped 0.20% and Nasdaq-100 futures also declined 0.20%.
🌍 Geopolitical risk returned to focus after the US struck two Iranian rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz. The incident renewed concerns about a wider conflict in the Middle East and possible disruption to one of the world's most important oil shipping routes.
🛢 Oil prices moved higher following the attack. Brent and US crude both gained as traders priced in a higher risk of supply disruption. The Strait of Hormuz is especially important because roughly 20% of global oil shipments normally pass through the area.
📉 Asian markets also came under pressure on Monday. South Korean stocks led the losses, falling more than 3%, while Japanese shares also declined. Technology stocks were among the weaker areas as investors reacted to geopolitical risk, higher oil prices and elevated bond yields.
📈 Despite the latest weakness, August has still been a strong month for major US indexes. Technology and AI-related stocks helped drive much of the month's gains, although the rally has faced periods of sharp volatility from inflation concerns, rising Treasury yields and geopolitical tensions.
🏦 Interest rates are another major risk traders need to watch. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said inflation remains too high and indicated that the central bank may still have more work to do.
👀 The next major test comes from US economic data. Traders will be watching manufacturing and services data during the week, followed by the August jobs report on Friday.
📊 Strong or weak numbers could change expectations for the Fed's next interest-rate decision and create another round of market volatility. | 329 |
| 4 | MARKET UPDATES FOR TODAY: August 28, 2026
📈 US stocks rallied on Thursday, led by strong gains in technology stocks. The Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.57%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.72%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also finished higher gaining 0.20%.
🚀 Nvidia was the main driver behind Thursday's technology rally. Shares surged 8.7% after the company beat Wall Street expectations and gave investors a strong growth outlook.
💰 Nvidia's future growth forecast was also much stronger than expected. Revenue growth is projected to reach around 70% in fiscal 2028, compared with the 44% analysts had expected. Its fiscal second-quarter revenue also more than doubled from a year earlier.
📈 The broader semiconductor sector also benefited from the rally. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF climbed around 3%, showing that Nvidia's strong outlook helped improve sentiment across the chip industry.
🔥 The technology rally spread beyond semiconductor stocks. Salesforce surged more than 22% after its second-quarter revenue came in above Wall Street forecasts.
🛡 Cybersecurity stocks posted some of the day's biggest gains. Okta jumped more than 28%, while CrowdStrike gained 20.5% after both companies beat analyst expectations and raised their outlooks.
🤖 Other cybersecurity companies joined the rally. Palo Alto Networks rose almost 13%, as strong demand linked to agentic AI improved sentiment toward the cybersecurity industry.
⚠️ Despite the strong indexes, much of Thursday's strength remained concentrated in technology. AI, semiconductor, software, and cybersecurity stocks were among the market's strongest areas.
🏦 Attention now shifts from corporate earnings to the Federal Reserve. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is scheduled to deliver a closely watched speech at the Jackson Hole symposium on Friday. | 443 |
| 5 | MARKET UPDATES FOR TODAY: August 27, 2026
📊 Wall Street finished almost flat on Wednesday during market hours as traders digested hotter inflation data. The S&P 500 slipped just 0.02%, while the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.08%. The Dow Jones declined 0.21%.
🔥 Inflation remained a key concern for the market. July’s PCE Price Index, which is closely watched by the Federal Reserve, came in slightly hotter than expected.
🧭 Core PCE, which removes volatile food and energy prices, was in line with expectations. The data showed that inflation remains above the Fed’s target and could keep interest rates higher for longer.
📈 Treasury yields stayed elevated following the inflation report. The 10-year Treasury yield was around 4.66% during Wednesday’s session.
🏦 Higher yields can put pressure on growth stocks because they increase borrowing costs and can make future company earnings less valuable in today’s terms.
🤝 Meta gained around 1% after reaching a settlement with state attorneys general. The case involved allegations that its social media platforms harmed younger users. The settlement helped remove some legal uncertainty surrounding the company.
💻 Nvidia was the main driver behind the after-hours move. Its shares jumped more than 4% in extended trading after the company reported strong quarterly results and gave an upbeat long-term sales outlook.
👀 The next major event to watch is Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech on Friday. Traders will listen closely for clues about inflation, interest rates, and the Fed’s September policy decision. | 430 |
| 6 | MARKET UPDATES FOR TODAY: August 26, 2026
📈 Wall Street closed higher on Tuesday during market hours, helped by falling Treasury yields and a rebound in semiconductor stocks. The S&P 500 gained 0.32%, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.66%. The Dow Jones added 0.30%.
📉 Falling bond yields gave stocks some breathing room. The 10-year Treasury yield fell more than 7 basis points during Tuesday's session to around 4.63%. Lower long-term yields can ease pressure on stock valuations, especially for technology and other growth companies.
🛢 Oil prices also dropped sharply. WTI crude fell more than 3% on Tuesday. Lower oil prices can help reduce concerns about inflation, which may explain part of the decline in Treasury yields and the improved mood in equities.
💻 Semiconductor stocks led Tuesday's technology rebound. Nvidia gained about 2%, ending a seven-session losing streak ahead of its earnings report. AMD jumped 4.9%, while Micron gained around 2.5%. The broader semiconductor index also moved higher.
⚠️ Not every part of the market joined the rally. Dick's Sporting Goods plunged around 30% after disappointing results, marking its worst trading day on record. Target dropped nearly 4%, while Walmart also finished lower.
😟 The Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index fell to 89.4 in August, below expectations of 90.2. This matters because weaker confidence can eventually affect consumer spending, which is a major driver of the US economy.
🌎 Trade tensions are another risk to watch. Canada announced retaliatory tariffs against the United States and said it would match the Trump administration's new 50% tariffs “dollar for dollar.”
👀 Wednesday could be a major catalyst day. Traders are waiting for the July PCE inflation report, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure. Nvidia is also scheduled to report earnings after Wednesday's closing bell, putting both interest-rate expectations and the AI trade in focus.
🏦 The Fed remains another key catalyst later this week. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is scheduled to speak Friday at the Jackson Hole symposium. Traders will listen closely for clues about inflation, interest rates, and the Fed's policy outlook. | 401 |
| 7 | MARKET UPDATES FOR TODAY: August 25, 2026
📉 Wall Street ended Monday mixed during market hours as weakness in technology stocks weighed on the broader market. The S&P 500 fell 0.28%, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 0.76%. The Dow Jones gained 0.26%.
💻 Semiconductor stocks were among Monday's biggest losers. Micron fell 5.8%, AMD dropped more than 3%, and Broadcom lost more than 2%. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) also fell 2.7%, showing that the weakness affected much of the chip sector.
📉 Other technology names also came under pressure. Sandisk dropped 6%, Seagate fell 6.5%, while Coherent and Lumentum lost more than 4% each. The broad decline in chip-related stocks came as traders became more cautious ahead of Nvidia's earnings this week.
📊 Treasury yields moved lower, giving the market some relief from the recent rise in borrowing costs. The 10-year Treasury yield fell more than 3 basis points to 4.704%, while the 30-year yield dropped more than 4 basis points to 5.234%.
🏦 The move in yields followed reports that the US Treasury may use funds from its General Account to support a larger debt buyback operation. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had already indicated that upcoming government debt buybacks could be larger than previously announced.
🌍 Bond yields remain an important risk for stocks. Rates in the US and other major economies have climbed as markets worry that the US-Iran war could keep oil prices high and add to inflation. Higher inflation could make it harder for central banks to lower interest rates.
🚗 Trade tensions added another source of uncertainty. President Donald Trump announced that US tariffs on Canadian cars, trucks, automotive parts, and steel will rise to 50%, starting January 1, 2027. Traders will be watching automotive and industrial stocks for any reaction to the policy.
👀 The market now has several major catalysts ahead. Nvidia reports earnings on Wednesday, followed by Marvell Technology on Thursday. Nvidia's report will be closely watched because its results and outlook could affect sentiment across semiconductors and other AI-related stocks.
🔥 Traders will also be watching July's Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) inflation report on Wednesday and Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh's upcoming Jackson Hole speech. Both could affect expectations for interest rates and create larger moves across stocks and bonds. | 381 |

10:00 PM: US Michigan Consumer Sentiment – Final (Aug)
10:00 PM: US Fed Chair Kevin Warsh Speech at Jackson Hole
Market Implications:
➡️ Fed Chair Warsh’s Jackson Hole Speech: This is one of the biggest potential market-moving events of the week. Traders will closely watch Warsh’s comments for clues about the Fed’s outlook on inflation, economic growth, and interest rates. Any unexpected shift in tone could trigger volatility across stocks, Treasury yields, and the US dollar.
➡️ Core PCE & PCE Inflation: The PCE Price Index is the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation measure. A hotter-than-expected reading could strengthen expectations that interest rates will remain higher or rise further. A softer reading could ease some of those concerns.
➡️ GDP & Durable Goods Orders: The revised Q2 GDP report will provide an updated picture of US economic growth, while durable goods orders can offer clues about business investment and demand. Strong data may reinforce the view that the economy remains resilient, while weaker numbers could raise growth concerns.
➡️ Consumer Confidence & Spending: Consumer confidence, personal income, and spending data help show how US households are responding to current economic conditions. Since consumer spending is a major part of the US economy, unexpected changes can influence the broader growth outlook.
➡️ Jobless Claims: Weekly unemployment claims provide a timely look at the US labor market. A significant rise in claims could point to weakening employment conditions, while low claims may indicate that the labor market remains relatively strong.
➡️ Consumer Sentiment: The University of Michigan survey provides insight into how consumers view the economy and inflation. Markets may pay particular attention to changes in inflation expectations because they can influence expectations for future Fed policy. | 368 |
| 9 | MARKET UPDATES FOR TODAY: August 24, 2026
📉 US stock futures moved slightly lower on Sunday night as traders prepared for the new week. Dow futures were down about 0.1%, S&P 500 futures slipped 0.1%, and Nasdaq-100 futures fell 0.2%.
⚠️ Bond yields remain one of the biggest risks to watch. The 30-year US Treasury yield climbed above 5.3% last week, reaching its highest level in nearly 20 years. The 10-year yield was also around 4.74% late Friday.
🛢 Oil and inflation are also important. Investors remain concerned that the US-Iran conflict could keep oil prices elevated for longer. If energy prices stay high, inflation could remain harder to control. This could affect expectations for interest rates and keep markets volatile.
🏦 The US Treasury has taken steps to calm the bond market by expanding its purchases of longer-term government debt. This helped stabilize yields for a time, but the market remains sensitive to any further moves in long-term rates.
👀 Inflation will return to the spotlight this week. The July PCE inflation report is due Wednesday. Traders will be watching the numbers closely because PCE is an important inflation measure used by the Federal Reserve.
🏛 The Federal Reserve's annual Jackson Hole symposium is also taking place this week. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is expected to speak, so traders will be listening for clues about inflation, interest rates, and the Fed's outlook for the economy.
🤖 AI stocks could face another major test this week. Nvidia reports earnings on Wednesday, followed by Marvell Technology on Thursday. Nvidia's results and guidance could influence sentiment across semiconductors and other AI-related stocks.
💻 Nvidia has also reportedly informed some large customers that prices for servers using its Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell chips will rise by more than 15% in many configurations, partly because of higher memory costs. The increases are expected to affect systems shipping early next year. | 276 |
| 10 |  If you want to become a lifestyle trader,
This new bonus I added is for you!

→ Your trading capital
→ Your target income
→ The amount of time you can realistically commit

Your Lifestyle Number
The monthly income your ideal lifestyle requires.
Your Income Gap
The gap between where you are today and where you want to be.
Your Trader Profile
A roadmap for building your trading around your available capital, goals and time.

“How much can I make from trading?”
You can start asking:
“What would my trading actually need to look like for the life I want?”
And the best part?
🎁 You can only get the Calculator by attending the workshop and staying until the end.
It’s not available publicly.

| 11 |  It’s already August!
So let me ask you something:
Is your trading actually better than it was in January?
Or are you still:
→ Watching charts every night
→ Wondering what to trade
→ Profiting, then losing it back to the market
→ Not seeing any substantial profits?
Here’s the uncomfortable truth:
If you keep doing what you’ve been doing for the past 8 months…
You’ll see the same results when the year ends!
The good news?
The traders making the most progress aren’t necessarily the ones working the hardest.
They just have a better process!
A process that tells them what to look for, when to act, and when to walk away
So they only need to trade for 1 hour or less each time.
That’s what I’ll be breaking down inside my FREE Lifestyle Trader Workshop.
If you’re a busy professional who wants trading to fit around your life…
This is for you.
🎟️ RSVP here:
https://learn.onlinegurutrader.com/tel-lifestyle-trader-workshop | 385 |
| 12 |  DON’T SPEND MORE TIME TRADING.
In fact, if you’re a working professional, spending MORE time trading could actually be making things worse.
I’ve seen traders spend 3-4 hours every night staring at charts…
Only to make less than traders who spend a fraction of that time focusing on the right trades!
Because trading isn’t about how long you trade.
It’s about knowing:
→ What to trade
→ When to trade
→ And, most importantly, what NOT to trade.
Because you have a career or business, a family and your own life.
So why use those trading systems out there, that are mostly designed for people who have all day to trade?
That’s why I created the Lifestyle Trader Blueprint:
A framework designed to help busy professionals trade WITHOUT turning trading into a second job.
I’ll be teaching it FREE at my upcoming Lifestyle Trader Workshop.

| 13 | MARKET UPDATES FOR TODAY: August 21, 2026
📉 Wall Street closed sharply lower on Thursday during market hours. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.3%, while the S&P 500 dropped 0.9%. The Nasdaq Composite declined 1%, with technology stocks among the areas under pressure.
📊 Treasury yields moved higher again. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to around 4.70%, while the 30-year yield reached about 5.25%. The move brought concerns about inflation, government borrowing and the supply of US debt back into focus.
💻 Higher yields added pressure on technology and growth stocks. When bond yields rise, the value investors place on future company earnings can fall. This can put extra pressure on companies whose valuations depend heavily on future growth.
🛢 Oil prices were another concern for the market. Brent crude climbed above $93 per barrel as tensions between the US and Iran remained unresolved. Higher energy costs can affect businesses and consumers while also keeping inflation pressures elevated.
⚠️ Walmart shares plunged 9.2% after the retailer reported weaker-than-expected quarterly sales growth. The company also warned about a softer consumer environment as higher fuel costs put more pressure on household spending.
🛍 Weakness spread to other consumer-related stocks. Amazon, Home Depot and American Express were among the major decliners as traders assessed whether higher costs could further affect consumer spending.
🚜 Deere & Company moved against the broader market trend. Its shares jumped around 7% after the company raised the lower end of its full-year profit forecast.
🏦 Attention is now shifting toward the Federal Reserve. Traders are preparing for the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium on August 27–29, where comments from central bank officials could provide more clues about the outlook for interest rates and inflation. | 475 |
| 14 |  If I Had To Restart Trading From Zero…
I wouldn’t search for another indicator, “secret” strategy, or instrument.
I’d look for only 1 thing: A roadmap.
A clear process that tells me:
→ What to focus on
→ What to ignore
→ How to find the best trades
→ How to execute quickly
→ How to manage trades
→ And when to simply stay out
Once I have that, trading becomes easy
And I’ll be able to trade within 1 hour or less each time, like right now
Without all the trial and error, and 6-figures in losses!
That’s why I took my 29-year trading methodology and compressed it into a step-by-step execution blueprint
Called the Lifestyle Trader Blueprint.
To help traders get winning trades consistently - and still have time to enjoy their life (and their profits!)
It’s actually just for my private coaching clients

| 15 | After two weeks of upward momentum,
The market suddenly changed direction.
The Nasdaq and S&P 500 are now showing signs of weakness,
But what caught my attention is what could happen next.
In my latest video, I break down the recent sell-off,
And what I’m seeing across the Nasdaq and S&P 500 charts.
There are signs that the market could see a short-term rebound after the recent decline.
But the bigger question is whether that rebound would signal the end of the weakness…
Or simply be a pause before the market makes its next move.
I also look at the bigger picture as September approaches.
Historically, September has been one of the weaker months for the US stock market,
Which makes the current price action even more interesting to watch.
Could this simply be a normal pullback after the recent rally?
Or could we be seeing the early stages of a broader correction?
I share the key signals I’m watching and what the charts are currently telling me in the full video.

| 16 | MARKET UPDATES FOR TODAY: August 19, 2026
📉 Wall Street closed lower on Tuesday during market hours, with technology and semiconductor stocks leading the decline. The S&P 500 fell 0.69%, the Nasdaq Composite dropped 1.33% while the Dow Jones slipped 0.22%.
💻 Semiconductor and data-storage stocks came under heavy selling pressure. Western Digital fell around 7%, Sandisk dropped 9%, Marvell Technology lost nearly 8%, and Seagate declined more than 9%. The weakness in these high-growth names added pressure to the Nasdaq.
📈 The US 30-year Treasury yield briefly reached its highest level since 2007. Long-term government bond yields in Japan, Germany, and France have also climbed to multiyear highs.
🛢 Oil prices remain another key source of pressure. US crude climbed another 0.5% on Tuesday. Investors are concerned that continued geopolitical tensions could keep energy prices elevated, which could make inflation harder to control.
🌍 The US-Iran situation remains uncertain. Hopes for progress weakened after President Trump said the US was not currently holding talks with Iran and that no discussions were scheduled.
👀 The combination of higher oil prices and rising bond yields is important to watch. Expensive energy can add to inflation, while higher yields tighten financial conditions. This combination can be especially challenging for technology and other growth stocks whose valuations are more sensitive to interest rates. | 497 |
| 17 | MARKET UPDATES FOR TODAY: August 18, 2026
📉 Wall Street ended Monday’s session lower as rising oil prices and renewed tensions in the Middle East weighed on sentiment. The S&P 500 fell 0.52%, the Nasdaq Composite lost 0.32% while the Dow Jones dropped 0.51%.
🛢 Oil was one of the biggest market drivers on Monday. WTI crude rose 2.6%, while Brent crude gained 2.7%. Prices climbed as hopes for a quick U.S.-Iran agreement faded, increasing concerns about energy supplies from the Middle East.
⚠️ The U.S.-Iran ceasefire expired on Monday while negotiations remained stalled. Iran has ruled out extending the existing agreement, while comments from both sides have raised concerns that tensions could increase again if diplomacy fails.
📈 Higher oil prices are also creating another concern for traders: inflation. If energy costs stay high, they can increase costs for businesses and consumers. This could make the Federal Reserve’s job harder as it decides what to do with interest rates.
🏦 Bond yields moved higher alongside oil prices. The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield reached its highest level since June 2007. Higher long-term yields can put pressure on stock valuations, especially for growth companies whose prices depend heavily on expectations for future earnings.
💾 Micron Technology was one of Monday’s stronger performers, gaining around 4%. Memory and semiconductor stocks received support from developments around AI demand and reports that the Trump administration does not support Apple buying memory chips from China.
🤖 Anthropic reportedly generated more than $11.5 billion in second-quarter revenue, a large increase from a year earlier. Strong AI demand helped parts of the semiconductor sector outperform even as the broader market declined.
👀 Traders now have several events to watch. Home Depot reports earnings on Tuesday, Lowe’s follows on Wednesday, and Walmart reports on Thursday. The Federal Reserve will also release its latest meeting minutes on Wednesday, which could provide more clues about how policymakers view inflation and interest rates. | 553 |

9:45 PM: US S&P Global Services PMI Flash (Aug)
9:45 PM: US S&P Global Composite PMI Flash (Aug)
Market Implications:
➡️ FOMC Meeting Minutes: This is likely to be one of the most important events of the week. The minutes will give traders a closer look at what Fed officials discussed during their July meeting and how they view inflation, economic growth and interest rates. Any signs that officials are leaning toward tighter or looser policy could affect stocks, bonds and the US dollar.
➡️ Manufacturing Data: The Empire State and Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing indexes will provide an early look at business conditions in the manufacturing sector. Stronger readings could suggest that economic activity remains resilient, while weaker readings may raise concerns about slowing growth.
➡️ Housing Data: Building Permits and Housing Starts will show how the US housing market is responding to current borrowing costs and economic conditions. Building permits are also useful because they can provide an early indication of future construction activity.
➡️ Industrial Production: This report measures output from factories, mines and utilities. Stronger production can point to healthy economic activity, while a weaker reading could add to concerns that parts of the economy are losing momentum.
➡️ Initial Jobless Claims: Weekly jobless claims provide a timely look at the US labor market. A noticeable rise in claims could signal that employment conditions are weakening. A resilient labor market, however, could give the Fed more room to keep monetary policy restrictive.
➡️ S&P Global PMI: Friday's flash Manufacturing and Services PMI reports will give traders one of the earliest readings on US business activity in August. A reading above 50 generally signals expansion, while below 50 indicates contraction. The services reading is especially important because services make up a large part of the US economy. | 524 |
| 19 | MARKET UPDATES FOR TODAY: August 17, 2026
🌙 U.S. stock futures were little changed on Sunday evening. S&P 500 futures were up 0.1%, while Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.2%, the Dow Jones futures moved the other way, slipping 0.1%.
🏦 Inflation data gave markets some relief last week. U.S. consumer prices rose just 0.1% in July from the previous month, while producer prices were unchanged. This suggested that some inflation pressures may be cooling.
🔎 The softer inflation numbers reduced concerns about a near-term Federal Reserve rate hike. However, inflation remains above the Fed’s 2% target, so traders should not assume the interest-rate outlook is settled yet.
💼 Corporate earnings have also helped support the market. About 85% of companies that had reported by the middle of last week beat analysts’ profit expectations. Strong earnings have helped keep stocks supported even as economic concerns remain.
🛍 Consumer spending is becoming another important area to watch. U.S. retail sales fell in July. This raises questions about whether consumers are becoming more cautious and whether slower spending could eventually affect company earnings.
🛢 Oil prices jumped nearly 6% last week as tensions around the Strait of Hormuz increased. Higher energy prices could put fresh pressure on inflation. That could make the Fed’s next decisions more difficult if oil remains elevated.
👀 Retail earnings will be a major focus this week. Home Depot, Target, TJX Companies and Walmart are due to report. Their results could provide useful clues about how U.S. consumers are spending and which areas remain strong or weak.
📅 The Fed will also return to the spotlight on Wednesday. Traders will be watching the minutes from its July meeting for clues about how policymakers view inflation, economic conditions and the future path of interest rates. | 469 |
| 20 | Something interesting is developing between crude oil and the Nasdaq…
And the picture isn’t as straightforward as it first appears. 👀
Crude oil has spent the past few days consolidating.
Meanwhile, the Nasdaq has been moving sideways after its recent push higher.
But when I zoom into the shorter timeframe…
📊 I’m seeing a different setup beginning to develop.
In my latest video, I break down what I’m observing in crude oil, the Nasdaq, and the S&P 500.
I also explain why the relationship between these markets has caught my attention before the U.S. market opens.
The 4-hour and 30-minute charts are currently telling slightly different stories.
And that could make today’s market particularly interesting to watch.
Could the Nasdaq make another move before the picture changes?
And what am I seeing in crude oil that has caught my attention? 🤔
Watch the video to see the key levels and technical setups I’m monitoring today.
