Small and mid-caps suffered most: the Russell 2000 fell 2.4% and the S&P Mid-Cap 400 lost 1.9%, while the Nasdaq declined just 0.7%.The 10-year Treasury yield approached 5%, pressured by higher energy prices, persistent inflation, heavy government issuance and a smaller-than-expected Treasury buyback. August data reinforced expectations of a September Fed rate hike. Producer prices rose 5.4% year-on-year, while core consumer prices increased 0.3% month-on-month—slightly above forecasts. Markets subsequently raised the probability of a September hike to 87%. Meanwhile, jobless claims remained stable, suggesting continued labour-market resilience. **[Charles-Henry Monchau, CFA, CMT, CAIA](https://blog.syzgroup.com/author/charles-henry-monchau?hsLang=en)** | 12/09/2026 ## Straight from the Desk # Syz the moment Live feeds, charts, breaking stories, all day long.
