Week of Monday, September 7, 2026 - Friday, September 11, 2026
Key Themes This Week
- •The U.S. military conflict with Iran, now in its seventh month, continues to affect global oil markets and geopolitical stability, with crude trading around $91 per barrel heading into the week.
- •August nonfarm payrolls jumped 162,000, well ahead of the 53,000 consensus, while unemployment held at 4.1%, a result that raised trader bets on a potential Fed rate hike at the September 15-16 policy meeting.
- •The Producer Price Index for August is scheduled for release Thursday, September 10 at 8:30 AM ET, followed by the Consumer Price Index on Friday, September 11, two reports that will help determine whether the Fed acts on rising inflation pressures.
