Key arguments
- US equities declined, with the S&P 500, Dow and Nasdaq all falling around 0.6%, as inflation concerns and higher Treasury yields weighed on sentiment.
- Oil prices surged more than 6% after Iran said it attacked vessels near the Strait of Hormuz following US strikes on Iranian tankers, adding to concerns over regional shipping and energy supply.
- US producer inflation accelerated to 5.4% y/y in August from 4.8% in July, with energy prices up 4.2% m/m and diesel surging 24.1%.
- The ECB raised its three key policy rates by 25bp, taking the deposit rate to 2.50%, and revised its 2027 and 2028 inflation forecasts higher.
Key numbers

- USD106.1/bbl, up 10.2% 1W and 19.3% 1M

Main risks
- Sustained oil price rise could keep inflation elevated and reinforce expectations of further Fed tightening.

- Escalation of US-Iran tensions or disruption in the Strait of Hormuz could further pressure energy supply and shipping.
