XOM, V: Gas on Credit

Markets head into one of September’s most consequential policy weeks, with the **Federal Reserve’s Wednesday decision** taking center stage after stronger-than-expected August inflation and employment data sharply increased expectations for a **25-basis-point rate hike**. The Fed will also release updated economic projections, making Chairman Kevin Warsh’s press conference especially important for clues on whether additional tightening could follow. Wednesday morning’s **August retail sales** report will add another test of consumer resilience, followed by **housing starts and building permits Thursday**. The global rate picture becomes even more important Friday, when the **Bank of Japan is widely expected to raise its policy rate to 1.25%**, potentially adding volatility to the yen, bond yields, and global carry trades. Complicating the backdrop, **Brent crude has climbed above $100 per barrel amid renewed Middle East supply and shipping concerns**, reinforcing inflation worries just as central banks consider tighter policy. With monetary policy, oil prices, retail spending, and global rates all converging, this week could be driven less by earnings and more by sharp moves in **Treasury yields, currencies, energy, and rate-sensitive equities**.

17 Million Barrels or Five Ships?

Something strange is happening in the Strait of Hormuz, and the numbers don’t quite add up. On Monday, Aug. 31, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said more than 17 million barrels of crude passed through the Strait of Hormuz — the highest daily volume since the Iran war began. Even though that sounds reassuring, it […]… Read More

W, ELV: Comfort and Coverage

Markets head into one of September’s most consequential macro weeks, with the **Federal Reserve’s September 15–16 meeting** taking center stage after strong August employment data revived debate over whether policymakers may need to tighten policy again. The Fed will release its rate decision Wednesday afternoon along with an updated **Summary of Economic Projections**, giving investors a fresh look at officials’ expectations for inflation, growth, unemployment, and the future path of interest rates. Wednesday morning also brings **August retail sales**, followed by **housing starts and building permits Thursday and industrial production Friday**, providing an important read on whether consumers and the broader economy are holding up under higher rates. Overseas, the **Bank of Japan meets September 17–18**, with markets increasingly anticipating another rate increase, adding another potential source of volatility for global bond and currency markets. With the earnings calendar comparatively light—although **Lennar reports Wednesday after the close**—this week is likely to be driven primarily by interest rates, Treasury yields, currencies, and how markets interpret the Fed’s updated policy outlook….
