Financial Markets Daily Report
15 septiembre 2026
Markets started the week in a distinctly risk-off mood, shaped by a combination of surging energy prices, AI sector uneasiness, and strong market expectations for a Fed rate hike ahead of Wednesday's policy decision. Equities fell broadly, with European indices underperforming their U.S. counterparts.
In commodities, crude oil continued to rise after Saudi Arabia shut its East-West pipeline, a key alternative to the Strait of Hormuz, following drone attacks. TTF natural gas surged alongside oil, compounding inflation concerns, while gold retreated, pressured by a stronger dollar and higher yields.
In fixed income, sovereign yields rose across the board and euro area peripheral spreads widened modestly. The U.S. 10-year Treasury briefly breached the 5% threshold for the first time since 2023 before pulling back. The dollar strengthened against the euro and sterling, while the yen weakened further.
