Stocks, Treasuries Rebound as Oil Slips on Easing Middle East Supply Risks

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Sep 17

Summary

  • Stocks and Treasuries bounced back after their Fed-day drop, with the recovery driven by lower oil prices and renewed confidence that inflation pressures may ease.
  • Middle East supply disruption fears softened, pushing oil lower and improving the outlook for risk assets and bonds at the same time.
  • Citadel Securities' Scott Rubner said September is still likely to be volatile for equities, though he sees market conditions beginning to improve.
  • Japan added another policy watchpoint: strategists say the Bank of Japan could deliver a second rate hike in three months, but the yen may still weaken unless officials signal more tightening ahead.
