Ira Epstein discusses the financial markets as of September 17, 2026, highlighting a relief rally following a market downturn triggered by Kevin Warsh's hawkish comments. He covers the recovery in stock indices and metal markets while noting stagnation in foreign currencies and a slight decline in energy markets due to geopolitical tensions involving Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
Epstein emphasizes the Federal Reserve's role in aligning with market trends rather than leading them, with at least one more rate hike anticipated this year.
He also previews upcoming economic indicators, including the Federal Reserve's industrial production report and the Bank of Japan's expected interest rate decision, which could impact market dynamics further.
