Grace Under Pressure
October 9, 2026 - Equity markets both domestic and international experienced a volatile September. Despite this volatility and the pressure from the bond market, domestic equity markets have generally held up while international and debt markets deteriorated. Throughout the month, investors balanced ongoing inflation concerns, higher energy prices, and a rise in interest rates. The Federal Reserve’s decision to raise interest rates at its September meeting was perhaps the title event of the month. As the first increase in over three years, it marked a notable shift in the policy backdrop. This decision has also reinforced the importance of inflation in determining the path of monetary policy heading into the final months of the year.
