September FOMC countdown! Standard Chartered: Raising interest rates remains a "wrong policy choice"; the real test will come at Chairman Powell's press conference.

Standard Chartered believes that core inflation pressures may be overstated and that raising interest rates remains a "misguided policy choice": tariffs have added roughly 0.7 percentage points to the PCE, but their impact is expected to fade; headline‑excluding CPI has returned to its normal range, suggesting limited upward pressure on the consumer side. In July, only three voting members supported a rate hike, and current data are still insufficient to prompt additional committee members to shift their stance. A more prudent approach would be to wait for the tariff‑related shock and any revisions to the data to subside before reassessing the inflation trajectory.

Global bond markets are facing a "perfect storm": the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury has surged above 5%, hitting its highest level since 2007.

Behind the U.S. Treasury yield breaching 5% lies the combined impact of soaring oil prices, expanding government debt, and an AI‑related financing boom. JPMorgan warns that if yields rise to 5.25%, equity markets will "clearly struggle to absorb" the move. Market attention is focused on the Federal Reserve's decision Wednesday, with the probability of a rate hike now exceeding 90%; analysts expect the 10-year yield could climb further toward 5.5%.

Goldman Sachs Head of Hedge Fund Strategy: “Zero-Day Options” Suppress U.S. Equity Volatility; Technology and Energy Remain Top Picks

The S&P 500 has posted intraday volatility below 1% for 27 consecutive trading days, marking the longest stretch of low volatility since the pandemic began. Goldman Sachs warns that this "calm" is the result of a zero‑date options strategy forcibly locking in market pricing; once a catalyst emerges, the pent-up volatility will erupt all at once. Meanwhile, expectations of a September rate hike are rising, market sentiment has fallen to a year‑to‑date low, and risks to fiscal sustainability loom large—how much longer must this simmering pot keep boiling?

"New Fed Communicator": Waller Has "No Room for Retreat" on Rate Hike; Trump's "Trust" Faces Test

Nick Timiraos believes that, following the August CPI figure's stronger-than-expected reading, the likelihood of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this week has surged, while Warsh's hawkish stance on inflation has left him with virtually "no room to retreat." With just seven weeks before the election, whether Warsh raises rates will directly test how long Trump's "trust" in him can endure. Previously, Warsh maintained a balance between the White House and the Fed through a strategy of "speaking less and avoiding provocation"; after this meeting, silence will no longer serve as a shield.

The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield has broken through 5%! Two competing narratives are gripping the market: "a brief peak in the style of 2023" or "a financial crisis triggered in the manner of the 2000s"?

U.S. 10-year Treasury yields surged above 5% during overnight trading, hitting their highest level since 2007, before easing slightly. Escalating tensions in the Middle East have driven oil prices higher, inflation data have come in stronger than expected, and the federal debt stands at a staggering $40 trillion—multiple headwinds have converged, leaving markets sharply divided: Is 5% merely a temporary peak, or the starting point of a prolonged era of elevated interest rates?
