The US Federal Reserve remains restrictive: yields rise, car manufacturers on strike, impending government shutdown. Energy prices are escalating & threatening the economy.

According to a report by finanzmarktwelt.de, the US Federal Reserve is pursuing a restrictive monetary policy, which is leading to rising yields and a variety of stressors on Wall Street. Economic conditions are tightening, creating strong headwinds for stock markets. The S&P 500 had its worst month this year and financial conditions hit an all-time high. The uncertainty regarding the possible government shutdown and labor strikes among car manufacturers continue to weigh on the willingness to invest.

The Federal Reserve's restrictive monetary policy is leading to rising yields and tightening financial conditions, disrupting confidence in equity investments. This could lead to a slowdown in US economic growth and reduce investor appetite for risk.

The threat of a government shutdown and labor strikes by car manufacturers are also having a negative impact on the stock markets. A prolonged absence of government activity and a possible decline in US consumption could further weigh on economic growth.

Rising oil prices and U.S. Treasury yields are also adding pressure to stock markets, leading to a tighter correlation between stocks and bonds. Investors react by reducing their equity risk and positioning themselves neutrally.

However, despite the negative impact, there is also positive news, such as slowly rising underlying inflation, which weakens the case for further rate hikes.

According to a report by finanzmarktwelt.de, the overall mood on Wall Street is negative as various factors are weighing on the stock markets. If current trends continue, markets could continue to face strong headwinds.
