US Stock Market Outlook

According to Hariselvan Radhakrishnan, Founder & CEO of HST Wealth, the key pressure point remains crude oil, with Brent climbing to around $97 a barrel this morning and finally breaking above the ceiling it had respected for four consecutive sessions, as U.S.-Iran tanker attacks and Iran's threat of imposing a new restricted zone near the Strait of Hormuz heightened concerns over prolonged supply disruptions. With OPEC+ keeping output unchanged, the global oil market has little additional supply buffer to absorb a further disruption.

Currently, US WTI crude has reached above $94 per barrel, rising by 3% in a single-day. While the Brent crude surged by nearly 2% to trade close to $99 per barrel mark. The 10-year US treasury yield is near 3-year highs to 4.77%. Also, the 30-year bond yield climbed to 5.27%.

He added, the market's next major focus is Friday evening's U.S. inflation report, with the reading expected to set the tone for expectations ahead of the Federal Reserve's September 16 decision.

On Tuesday, global cues traded mixed. As per the expert, U.S. markets were closed overnight for the Labor Day holiday, while Asian markets are trading mixed this morning, with the unresolved geopolitical crisis and elevated crude oil prices remaining the dominant variables for investor sentiment.
