#### Public Markets

*Last updated: September 10, 2026, 10:07 PM ET*

**Global Markets**

A surge in crude prices above $100 a barrel triggered a broad retreat across risk assets, with [Asian stocks](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/tnw-asian-stocks-bonds-to-drop-on-oil-inflation-woes-markets-wrap-c87a02d0) and bonds set for declines after the oil spike sparked a selloff in US markets and fresh inflation data reinforced bets on an imminent Federal Reserve rate hike. US equities [fell for a fourth](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/wsj-markets/tnw-us-stocks-fall-as-oil-tops-100-yields-hit-multiyear-highs-0e379f99) consecutive session as Treasury yields hit multiyear highs, while August inflation data revealed the toll of rising energy costs. The [S&P 500 slid](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/sp-500-slides-fourth-straight-day-as-oil-prices-yields-surge-65a7941e) for a fourth straight day, its longest losing streak since June, as the relentless climb in oil and fresh evidence of sticky inflation boosted yields and rate-hike wagers. Stock [futures edged higher](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/wsj-markets/stock-futures-rise-treasury-yields-hold-near-highs-as-oil-tops-101-bcafae60) and Brent continued to rise as investors positioned ahead of crucial US inflation prints, while [Brent held above](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/wsj-us-business/brent-crude-surpasses-100-amid-gulf-supply-risks-c3c30c9d) $100 a barrel after Wednesday's sharp rally, with traders assessing escalating attacks on Gulf shipping and renewed Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia. Oil [extended its rally](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/tnw-latest-oil-market-news-and-analysis-for-sept-11-2b97cfdf) above $100 a barrel following an escalation of hostilities in the Middle East that stoked fears of deeper supply disruptions. Crude [hit its highest](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/nyt-top-stories/oil-prices-surge-above-105-as-middle-east-fighting-escalates-83aca2e0) levels in months, with bond yields continuing to rise and stocks falling for a fourth consecutive session as investors worried about energy supplies and inflation. The cost of [crude has risen](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/nyt-top-stories/oil-prices-surge-to-100-amid-middle-east-turmoil-46473683) 40 percent since the start of the war in Iran, pushing up the price of gasoline, diesel and other refined fuels.

**Rates and Credit**

The global bond selloff reignited as [oil jumped to $109](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/ft-markets/bond-sell-off-intensifies-as-oil-tops-105-6b848298), with US yields reaching highs of the day after Scott Bessent's Treasury buyback operation undershot its target. The [bond-market selloff accelerated](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/tnw-bessents-us-debt-buyback-disappoints-sending-yields-higher-5d6299cf) on Thursday as spiking oil prices fanned inflation fears and the Treasury Department bought fewer bonds than expected during its first expanded buyback operation. Ten-year [borrowing costs hit](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/ft-markets/us-treasury-yields-jump-after-6bn-buyback-plan-bc11d83e) their highest level in nearly three years despite an upsized repurchase programme, while the [unrelenting bond selloff](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/wsj-markets/tnw-the-unrelenting-bond-selloff-puts-the-10-year-yield-on-the-cusp-of-5-5a214265) put the 10-year yield on the cusp of 5%, threatening to disrupt the stock market and slow the economy. [Bonds sold off](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/wsj-markets/tnw-bonds-sell-off-despite-buyback-operation-4ccca250) despite the buyback operation, with oil prices surging above $107 a barrel and wholesale inflation picking up. The [10-year yield neared](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/wsj-markets/global-bond-yields-surge-ahead-of-ecb-decision-cede2846) 5% as oil fueled inflation fears, with US crude topping $102 a barrel and global benchmark Brent hitting $107. Yields on [US government debt](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/us-bond-yields-rise-as-oil-surge-fuels-fed-rate-hike-bets-8146aedf) rose to fresh multiyear highs — stoking demand for an auction of 30-year bonds — as surging oil prices bolstered the case for a Federal Reserve interest-rate hike as soon as next week. Traders won the [first round in a showdown](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/bessent-buyback-push-fails-to-lower-yields-f737ffed) with Bessent, as the bond buyback left investors underwhelmed. Treasury Secretary [Scott Bessent dismissed](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/tnw-bessent-dismisses-buyback-concern-says-treasuries-strong-fbb2ac15) any concerns about Thursday's smaller-than-expected debt buyback operation and played down worries about a jump in yields. [Municipal bond yields](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/tnw-municipal-bond-yields-soar-to-highest-since-2011-in-rout-01c8910f) jumped as much as 15 basis points, with the longest-dated securities reaching the highest since 2011 as rising Treasury rates and heavy new issuance pressured the market. A [German yield hit](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/german-yield-hits-17-year-high-on-ecb-rate-hike-bets-2fce7921) a 17-year high as traders upped ECB hike bets after European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde flagged risks to inflation. The [European Central Bank raised](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/nyt-top-stories/ecb-raises-rates-to-25-amid-middle-east-inflation-1789c018) its benchmark rate to 2.5 percent in a bid to quell price pressures spurred by the war in the Middle East. America is [losing its captive creditors](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/ft-markets/us-treasury-yields-hit-19-year-high-amid-investor-shift-396b23ef), paying a higher cost to induce more price-sensitive investors to buy Treasuries, while the [US-China borrowing gap](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/ft-markets/us-china-bond-yield-gap-reaches-record-high-fd5ddea1) diverged to the widest level ever, threatening to accelerate a shift in capital flows between the world's two largest economies. Stanley [Druckenmiller said](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/ft-companies/tnw-druckenmiller-says-us-borrowing-costs-still-a-little-low-despite-surge-in-yields-4ade7e48) US borrowing costs remain "a little low" despite the surge in yields, calling Fed officials who argue rates are restrictive "just ridiculous." The [dollar rose](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/tnw-dollar-rises-as-fed-hike-bets-grow-heading-into-inflation-report-a5dbeda6) as strong US producer prices and an oil rally boosted bets on Federal Reserve interest-rate hikes this year, putting more focus on Friday's inflation report, and the [WSJ Dollar Index rose](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/wsj-markets/yen-holds-steady-ahead-of-bojs-masu-speech-c8b525d8) 0.35% to 95.18, snapping a three-trading-day losing streak. [Gold futures](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/wsj-markets/gold-holds-steady-ahead-of-us-cpi-data-252a2724) lost ground as a pickup in US producer price inflation in August raised expectations of a Fed rate increase next week.

**Oil, Gas and Commodities**

Oil [futures rose](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/wsj-markets/oil-prices-surge-amid-mideast-conflict-escalation-9b0580a3) to their highest level in nearly four months as increased fighting across the Persian Gulf region raised supply worries. [US diesel futures](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/us-diesel-futures-top-5-a-gallon-since-2022-24d798e5) surged above $5 a gallon for the first time since April 2022, the latest sign of a deepening global fuel squeeze as wars disrupt supplies and rapidly erode fuel stockpiles. [European natural gas prices](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/european-gas-prices-surge-amid-middle-east-tensions-7e3e6699) rose to the highest since late 2022 as heightening Middle East tensions boosted concerns about prolonged supply disruptions and winter fuel inventory levels. [US natural gas futures](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/wsj-markets/ttf-gas-prices-rise-amid-lng-supply-concerns-b3b20540) settled modestly higher after the EIA reported a fourth straight below-average weekly storage build, although the 40 Bcf injection landed above market expectations. Commercial [crude oil stocks fell](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/wsj-markets/us-crude-oil-stocks-drop-391000-barrels-a0d92489) by 391,000 barrels last week, against analyst expectations of a 1.4 million-barrel decline. Saudi Arabia's [oil production plunged](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/wsj-us-business/opec-lowers-2026-oil-demand-forecast-to-380k-barrels-daily-64f38bcc) last month as Iran-backed Houthi threats disrupted exports from the kingdom's west coast, while OPEC lowered its 2026 oil demand forecast. Riyadh reported to OPEC that its [crude output plunged](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/saudi-oil-output-falls-to-lowest-since-1990-level-4b7c93f6) again last month, hitting the lowest since 1990 as renewed US-Iran hostilities squeezed the kingdom's export routes. [Saudi Arabia cut](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/ft-companies/saudi-arabia-cuts-oil-output-to-yearly-low-on-houthi-threats-3a42ad8e) output to a yearly low after the rebels announced a "maritime embargo" against the kingdom's exports in July, forcing the world's biggest exporter to cut production. With few good options for safely shipping oil, [Saudi Arabia's exports](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/nyt-top-stories/saudi-oil-exports-plunge-amid-red-sea-route-disruptions-1ef087d0) have fallen to a 13-year low. [Iraq is holding](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/iraq-seeks-oil-tankers-as-gulf-giants-try-to-ensure-hormuz-flows-551a3f8e) a tender to hire two or more oil supertankers to perform transits through the Strait of Hormuz, the latest evidence that regional producers are trying to take greater control of their exports. [Russia's crude output](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/russias-crude-output-falls-as-ukraine-strikes-oil-assets-30ee9d67) shrank in August, lagging further behind its OPEC+ quota after Ukraine stepped up attacks on the nation's oil assets. Ukraine's unprecedented [attacks on gas assets](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/bloomberg-markets/ukraine-arctic-drone-attacks-reveal-gas-market-risks-e6a2d85f) in a remote Arctic region revealed new risks for the Kremlin's battered energy industry and the global market. The Iran war is [pushing global coal use](https://headlinesbriefing.com/market/nyt-top-stories/global-coal-use-hits-record-high-amid-iran-war-817b9278) to record highs five years after world leaders agreed to "phase down" the fuel.
