"What's the Real Driver?"

Today’s Newsletter (September 26th, 2025)

Futures mixed at the time of this writing as talking heads focus on jobs data as next week’s September Nonfarm Payrolls report looms as tariffs, inflation and the usual subjects overhang the market. 10-year trades near 4.18%.

From Bloomberg

  • "US equity futures struggled for traction as investors ponder the Federal Reserve’s next policy move following strong data from the world’s biggest economy.

  • Contracts on the S&P 500 were little changed, while those on the Nasdaq 100 dipped. The S&P 500 is on track for its first weekly decline of the month ahead of Friday’s inflation report and next week’s key monthly jobs numbers, after US GDP data Thursday complicated the outlook for further interest-rate cuts. 

  • Truckmaker PACCAR Inc. climbed more than 5% in premarket trading after President Donald Trump levied new tariffs on imports of heavy vehicles. Shares in several European peers dropped.

  • After a $15 trillion rebound in global equities from April’s lows, traders now face a wall of uncertainty as tariff headlines return to unsettle markets and investors fret about inflated valuations for big tech companies. Fed policy, the upcoming earnings season, and the threat of a US government shutdown are also weighing on sentiment. Attention now turns to Friday’s inflation report and key monthly jobs data next week.

  • “Excitement on AI and Fed rate cuts turbo-charged the bull market and sent global​ and US equities to new highs,” Barclays Plc strategists led by Emmanuel Cau wrote in a note. “But with much of the Goldilocks narrative arguably in the price now, and positioning higher, investor fatigue is palpable as we hit an air pocket ahead of next week’s non-farm payrolls report and third-quarter earnings.”"
