Wendy's Weekly STOCK MARKET Report "First interest-rate adjustment in three years" Presented by Wendy Nelson
Market Week: September 21, 2026
The Markets (as of market close September 18, 2026)
Last week marked the first adjustment in interest rates in the last three years as investors spent the latter part of the week trying to figure out the implications of monetary tightening, rising Treasury yields, persistent inflation, and advancing crude oil prices. By week's end, tech stocks showed resilience while large caps ticked lower. Ten-year Treasury yields closed at about 5.00%, reaching levels not seen since 2007. Higher yields weighed heavily on utilities, financials, real estate, materials, and industrials. Information technology and communication services outperformed. Crude oil prices ticked lower but continued to hover around $100.00 per barrel.
