Wall Street opened September with a broad risk-off move as escalating Middle East tensions, a sharp jump in oil prices and another selloff in long-dated government bonds hit multiple asset classes at once. U.S. equities closed lower across the board, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down 0.79%, the S&P 500 off 0.71% and the Nasdaq Composite falling 1.03%, while the VIX rose 9.52% to 16.34. In commodities, October WTI crude settled up 5.20% at $90.22 a barrel and Brent gained 4.6% to $94.65, with diesel prices surging even more sharply. Treasury yields also pushed higher, led by the 30-year yield, which touched 5.29%, its highest level since the Aug. 19 bond-market intervention cited in the report. The move in rates weighed heavily on long-duration assets, including software, semiconductors and AI-related shares, while energy stocks outperformed. Markets are now looking ahead to U.S. oil inventory data, the Federal Reserve’s Beige Book, Broadcom earnings and Tesla’s Cybercab event for the next catalysts.
