The biggest scheduled macro release today.
A significant inflation surprise could spill over into global bond markets as investors remain highly sensitive to inflation and central-bank policy.
🇺🇸 TREASURY AUCTIONS
The Treasury sells 13-week and 26-week bills.
These are less market-sensitive than longer-duration auctions, but demand remains worth watching with U.S. yields elevated.

The Fed begins its two-day meeting Tuesday, with the rate decision Wednesday at 2:00 PM ET.
Watch the 2Y, 10Y, dollar and Fed-rate pricing.

A hot print could push Treasury yields and the dollar higher, while weighing on equities.

The bigger focus will be Lagarde’s guidance on inflation and whether further hikes are coming, especially with oil above $100.
🇺🇸 JOBLESS CLAIMS
Claims are expected around 205K vs. 206K previously.
A major surprise could shift the Fed outlook, although PPI will likely dominate the initial market reaction.
🏠 EXISTING HOME SALES
August sales are expected around 3.98M vs. 4.06M previously.
Watch for signs that elevated mortgage rates are putting further pressure on housing demand.
🛢️ OIL INVENTORIES
Crude inventories will be closely watched with Brent above $100 amid escalating Middle East tensions.
Oil remains a major input into the market’s inflation outlook.
🇺🇸 30-YEAR TREASURY AUCTION
A major test for demand at the long end after the recent global bond selloff.
The Treasury is set to sell $22 billion of 30-year bonds. Weak demand could put renewed upward pressure on yields.
💻 ORACLE + ADOBE
Both report after the close.
Oracle will be closely watched for AI infrastructure and cloud demand, while Adobe provides another read on AI monetization and enterprise software spending.
🎯 MAIN FOCUS: PPI → ECB/LAGARDE → 30Y AUCTION → OIL → ORCL/ADBE
A nadie le importa tu cansancio.
A nadie le importa que hayas tenido un mal día.
A nadie le importa tu "potencial" ni tus buenas intenciones.
El mundo solo respeta una cosa: Resultados.
Tus hijos no comen con tus excusas. Tu alquiler no se paga con tus lágrimas.
Si eres hombre, nadie va a venir a salvarte. No hay un barco de rescate.
O te levantas tú solo, te limpias la sangre y sigues caminando, o te quedas en el suelo y te vuelves invisible.
Deja de buscar lástima y ponte a trabajar.
Ali Larijani, the late secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, warned the US and Israeli that killing Iranian leaders would only strengthen the country. Larijani made the comments a week before he was killed in an Israeli strike.
