Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Brent crude rose above USD113/bbl on Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, fueling inflation concerns, while Nasdaq fell about 3% as Meta's capex plans revived AI-financing worries and credit spreads widened. Safe-haven demand pushed the 10-year UST yield down toward 4.95%. The BSP surprised with a 50bp hike to 5.50% to contain second-round price effects; OCBC now expects a December hold but keeps further tightening open. Singapore September CPI is due, expected at 2.4% headline and 2.3% core.
