Stock futures were near flat on Monday evening as traders looked ahead to the Federal Reserve<\/a>‘s policy decision due later this week and weighed a recent climb in oil prices and Treasury yields.<\/p>\n S&P 500 futures<\/a> were up 0.05%, while futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average<\/a> gained 21 points, or 0.04%. Nasdaq 100 futures<\/a> advanced 0.03%.\u00a0<\/p>\n In the regular trading day, the Dow<\/a> declined 152 points, or 0.3%. The S&P 500<\/a> lost 0.5%, while the <\/a>Nasdaq Composite<\/a> slipped about 0.6%.<\/p>\n Asia-Pacific markets were set to open mixed Tuesday. Japan’s\u00a0Nikkei 225<\/a>\u00a0was poised to fall, with its Chicago and Osaka futures contracts last at 63,185 and 63,220, respectively, compared with the index’s previous close of 63,492.99.<\/p>\n Hong Kong’s\u00a0Hang Seng index<\/a>\u00a0futures were at 25,028, higher than the index’s last close of 24,917.6. Futures for Australia’s S&P\/ASX 200<\/a> last traded at 8,734 compared with the index’s previous close of 8,749.9.<\/p>\n A sell-off in artificial intelligence-related names weighed down the stock market after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called for a slower pace on AI development<\/a>. Over the weekend, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also ruled out<\/a> an initial public offering this year, pointing to growing worries around AI safety.<\/p>\n A slate of AI-connected stocks slid, with Nvidia<\/a> dropping 3% and specialty glass and fiber optic play Corning<\/a> tumbled 13%. The\u00a0iShares AI Innovation and Tech Active ETF (BAI)<\/a> dropped nearly 4%.<\/p>\n Higher Treasury yields also spooked investors. The 10-year Treasury yield<\/a> briefly topped 5% on Monday for its highest level since October 2023. Oil prices also edged higher after Saudi Arabia shuttered a key pipeline that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz<\/a>, leading Brent futures to close above $105 a barrel and West Texas Intermediate crude to settle over $101.<\/p>\n The Fed’s policy rate decision expected Wednesday is also weighing on traders’ minds. Fed funds futures trading suggest a roughly 92% likelihood that the central bank will lift rates by a quarter point from the current target rate range of 3.5% to 3.75%. <\/p>\n “We expect the Fed to, for the first time in the [Chairman Kevin] Warsh era, raise its policy rate to an upper bound of 4.0% at this week’s meeting,” Christopher Hodge, chief economist of the U.S. at Natixis CIB Americas. <\/p>\n “We also think that he will emphasize that this decision was discrete and does not pre-commit the Fed to any actions in subsequent meetings, giving him and the Committee maximum flexibility to respond to shocks,” he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on September 09, 2026 in New…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":616257,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[218458,271776,941,114,357,56621,13293,1761,1012,85,145063,278837,98708,46,118946,190,1763,1008,1677,1762,3310,1760,29170,3309],"class_list":["post-616256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-lco26x","tag-lco27g","tag-breaking-news-markets","tag-business","tag-business-news","tag-cme-group-inc","tag-corning-inc","tag-dow-jones-fut-sep25","tag-dow-jones-industrial-average","tag-il","tag-invesco-qqq-trust","tag-ishares-a-i-innovation-and-tech-active-etf","tag-ishares-semiconductor-etf","tag-israel","tag-kevin-warsh","tag-markets","tag-nasdaq-100-fut-sep25","tag-nasdaq-composite","tag-nvidia-corp","tag-sp-500-fut-sep25","tag-sp-500-index","tag-stock-markets","tag-suppress-zephr","tag-u-s-10-year-treasury"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/616256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=616256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/616256\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/616257"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=616256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=616256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=616256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
