Market Analysis
U.S. equities closed lower on Monday as the fallout from President Trump’s rejection of Iran’s peace proposal over the weekend kept oil prices and Treasury yields elevated early in the session. A midday report, citing a White House official, said Trump was open to sanction relief if Iran made “concrete progress” on the nuclear issue; oil and yields retreated from their highs and equity losses narrowed.
At the close, the S&P 500 fell 0.77% to 7,683.69, the Nasdaq Composite declined 0.92% to 26,820.38 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.67% to 51,481.51.
AI-linked shares weighed on the broader market. Nvidia gained about 1.68% after announcing a further $150 billion share-repurchase authorization, but the move was not enough to reverse the wider risk-off tone.
Treasury yields remained under pressure: the 10-year yield reached an intraday high of 5.274%, its highest level since 2007, while the 30-year yield touched 5.581%, a fresh high since 2002. Fed Governor Lisa Cook said inflation pressures from AI and the Middle East conflict could persist in coming months. She backed a 25-basis-point increase this month and said subsequent decisions would depend on inflation and labour-market data.
CME FedWatch showed a 70.3% probability of at least a 25-basis-point rate increase next month. Investors now turn to a data-heavy week, with August PCE due Wednesday and the September nonfarm payrolls report due Friday.
Oil traded sharply through the session. After jumping on the rejection of the Iran proposal, Brent briefly fell roughly 3% to around $104 on the sanction-relief report before rebounding. WTI November futures settled up 0.21% at $92.60 a barrel, while Brent November futures gained 0.92% to $105.28.
Key Takeaway: Monday’s sell-off reflected a combination of geopolitical oil risk and a renewed climb in long-dated Treasury yields. The prospect of conditional Iran sanctions relief softened the intraday shock, but elevated rates, a still-hawkish policy outlook and key inflation and labour data leave risk appetite fragile.

Key Events
Starship Deploys 26 Starlink V3 Satellites
On September 28, SpaceX said Starship completed deployment of all 26 Starlink V3 satellites. The vehicle is approaching an initial mission checkpoint, when the team will assess its condition and decide whether an early return is needed. If flight conditions remain normal, Starship is scheduled to complete six Earth orbits before returning roughly nine hours after launch.
Meta Opens Enterprise Platform for AI
Mark Zuckerberg announced the Meta Enterprise Platform, designed to help companies use AI for growth and transformation. Meta says the platform will bring together its models, AI agents and infrastructure, initially offering products and services including Muse agents, Meta Business Agent, Muse API and Muse Code to enterprises and developers.
Fed Governor Cook Flags Persistent Inflation Pressures
Fed Governor Lisa Cook said inflation pressure from AI-related demand and Middle East conflict could persist in coming months, while the labour market is positioned to absorb tighter policy. She said future rate decisions will depend on inflation, employment and the economy’s response to policy; AI-led productivity gains may be modestly disinflationary over time but are unlikely to offset broad near-term inflation pressure.

Sector Intelligence
HEALTHCARE & MEDICAL DEVICES
XLV / Health Care Select Sector SPDR$171.26▲ 0.33%
IHI / iShares U.S. Medical Devices ETF$51.96▲ 0.70%
Key Drivers: With yields surging and oil/geopolitical concerns weighing on the broader market, healthcare was among the day’s relative bright spots. The sector offers a more defensive earnings profile than cyclical, rate-sensitive groups, while medical devices add an innovation and procedure-volume angle.
Outlook: Watch the week’s PCE inflation and labour-market data for their effect on yields and policy expectations. Persistent yield pressure could limit defensive-sector leadership, while easing rates may broaden participation beyond the largest growth names.

SHIPPING & LOGISTICS
Baltic Dry Index (Sep 28)3,268▼ 4.61%
Shanghai Container Freight Index (Sep 24)3,686.62▼ 0.03%
Market Dynamics: Dry-bulk freight weakened sharply on Monday, with the BDI falling 158 points to 3,268. The latest publicly displayed SCFI was almost unchanged week over week, easing 1.21 points to 3,686.62.
Outlook: The near-term signal is mixed: dry-bulk pricing softened while Shanghai export-container spot pricing was broadly stable. Monitor commodity flows, trade-lane demand, port congestion, fuel costs and capacity management. BDI is daily while SCFI is weekly, so the two are not same-day indicators.

Institutional Views
Franklin Templeton InstituteCONSTRUCTIVE
Franklin Templeton sees a broadening opportunity set across equity regions and sectors, supported by resilient global growth and earnings in the United States and emerging markets. AI and infrastructure investment remain long-term themes, while conflict, inflation and tighter central-bank responses are key risks.
Charles SchwabSELECTIVE
Schwab expects solid earnings and business capital spending to support global equities, with AI investment an important driver. It nevertheless stresses diversification and risk management amid concentration in a narrow group of AI-linked names, inflation, geopolitical stress and policy uncertainty.
Cambridge AssociatesMODEST OVERWEIGHT EX-US
Cambridge Associates recommends that most investors modestly overweight global ex-US equities relative to U.S. equities in 2026, citing relative valuations, improving regional growth catalysts and rising U.S. concentration. It highlights Europe, Japan and emerging markets, while noting that stronger-than-expected U.S. resilience remains a risk to the view.
