Financial Markets Report For Tuesday, Sept 29

Crude oil fell below $90 as a strong dollar and high rates pressured metals. Traders now await critical GDP and core PCE data to gauge Fed policy, while monitoring Tesla (TSLA) and rising geopolitical tensions.

Ira Epstein discusses the day's financial market activity, noting a lack of excitement as he had no active client positions. He reflects on recent trades, including exiting a short position on the Swiss franc too early and incurring a loss on Tesla (TSLA).

Epstein highlights the stalled energy market, with crude oil prices dipping below $90, and comments on geopolitical tensions involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz. He also touches on the pressures faced by metal markets due to high interest rates and a strong U.S. dollar.

Looking ahead, he outlines key economic reports expected the next day, including ADP employment data, GDP figures, and the core PCE price index, which is closely watched by the Federal Reserve.
