US stock index futures began weakening in September, and rising oil prices boosted global bond yields and further strengthened market bets on interest rate hikes by central banks this month. At 8:00 New York time, S&P 500 futures fell 0.6%, Nasdaq 100 futures fell 1.2%, chip and software stocks declined in pre-market trading; Dow futures fell 0.5%. The global bond market has been sold off, particularly in Asia, where the yield on Japan's 10-year treasury bonds has risen to the highest level since this century. Earlier, as the yen weakened again, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged the Bank of Japan to tighten its policy. US Treasury bonds fell across the board, and 10-year Treasury yields hit their highest since January 2025. The 30-year yield continues to be above 5%, the longest period since 2006. Energy transportation in the Strait of Hormuz continued to be blocked, driving Brent crude oil above $92 per barrel. As the situation in the Middle East recently escalated, maritime safety consulting firm Marisks said that two supertankers were hit by unknown projectiles while passing through the waterway. “Stock investors should be more concerned about rising long-term bond yields, especially in the US,” said Joachim Klement, strategist at Panmure Liberum. “Continued inflationary pressure, as well as Kevin Walsh's more hawkish performance in Jackson Hole last week, suggest that yields are likely to continue to rise. The safe-haven trend at the beginning of September also overshadowed the S&P 500 index's hardest performance month in history. According to data compiled by Bloomberg, the S&P 500 index fell by an average of 0.8% in September over the past 30 years.
