Market Analysis
U.S. equities finished mixed on Friday, closing out a volatile week. Broad gains in semiconductor shares lifted the Nasdaq and S&P 500, while a softer wider market left the Dow lower.
Horizon Investment Services CEO Chuck Carlson said investors appeared fatigued after a dense week of developments, favoring caution over aggressive positioning. In his view, the market is weighing both the near-term impact of recent news and the likely policy path ahead for equities and fixed income.
Inflation remained the central concern. Crude oil traded above $100 per barrel before retreating from its intraday highs after President Trump said the United States was in talks with the Houthis. The earlier energy surge has pushed U.S. diesel prices to record levels, raising the risk of higher agricultural, freight and broader input costs.
Carlson noted that equities have become closely linked to oil’s direction: sustained short-term increases in energy prices typically add pressure to risk assets by raising inflation and margin concerns.
Against that backdrop, major central banks are moving into tightening mode as inflation pressure linked to the U.S.-Iran conflict broadens. The Bank of Japan raised rates to a 31-year high, joining the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank in tightening policy; the Bank of England held rates steady but signalled that further increases remain possible.
CME FedWatch showed a 55.4% probability of another 25-basis-point Federal Reserve hike at the October meeting, up from 42.5% a week earlier and 7.2% a month ago. The rise underscores how quickly markets have repriced the inflation and policy outlook.
Key Takeaway: Semiconductor leadership supported the index-level advance, but the mixed finish and rising October-hike odds show that risk appetite remains narrow. Energy-driven inflation and the path of global policy rates are likely to determine whether the technology-led resilience can broaden into a more durable rally.

Key Events
Anthropic’s Annualized Revenue Is Expected to Exceed $100 Billion
People familiar with the matter expect Anthropic’s annualized revenue to exceed $100 billion this year, up sharply from $65 billion in July. Investors pursuing a potential IPO are using that growth to support a possible $2 trillion valuation. A filing could arrive within weeks and trading could begin as early as November, although timing and valuation remain subject to market conditions.
Nvidia-Backed Nscale Files for U.S. IPO
London-based AI-infrastructure and GPU-cloud provider Nscale filed to list on the NYSE under the symbol NSCL. The company reported 2025 revenue of $33 million and a net loss of $761.8 million; first-half 2026 revenue rose to $140.6 million while its net loss reached $1.02 billion. Nscale said agreements with Anthropic could generate as much as $44.6 billion in payments, highlighting both the scale of contracted demand and the capital intensity of its expansion.
Trump Says U.S. Secures Permanent Greenland Security Control
President Trump said the United States, Denmark and Greenland reached an agreement to expand the U.S. military presence on the island and prevent competitors from establishing military bases there. He described the arrangement as giving the U.S. permanent control over Greenland security matters, while the agreement’s final terms and implementation details remain central to assessing its scope.
Jensen Huang Sells About 46,000 Nvidia Shares

Key Drivers: Semiconductors led equity gains on September 18 as lower oil prices eased immediate inflation concerns. AI infrastructure, data-centre investment, memory demand and tight capacity commitments continue to underpin the group.
Outlook: Momentum improved with the latest rally, but this remains a high-beta sector. The next leg depends on AI-capex delivery, chip pricing and capacity, as well as the path of yields and any renewed oil-driven inflation shock.

HARPEX (Sep 18)2,450▲ 0.12%
Market Dynamics: The Baltic Dry Index closed at 3,370 on September 18, up 1.02%, led by Capesize strength while Panamax remained softer. HARPEX rose to 2,450 on September 18, a 0.12% weekly increase from 2,447, signalling broadly stable-to-firm container-charter conditions.
Outlook: The late-week BDI increase supports the larger-vessel market, but segment divergence argues against extrapolating a broad dry-bulk upswing. The modest HARPEX gain suggests container rates are holding firm rather than accelerating; subsequent weekly assessments should clarify whether improvement broadens.
