Dollar's Strength Gains Momentum as Treasury Yields Rise -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/09/01 11:071107 GMT - The U.S. dollar's gains accelerate moderately in European midday as Treasury yields rise, with the currency reacting positively to Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's speech at the Jackson Hole symposium last Friday, Trade Nation's David Morrison says in a note. "Warsh left no one in any doubt that the U.S. central bank's focus was on getting inflation back to its 2% target, as measured by core PCE," the senior market analyst says. The latest print of core PCE came in at 3.3%, so "the Fed has quite a big job on its hands," Morrison says. The DXY dollar index rises 0.2% to 99.606. (emese.bartha@wsj.com)

EIA expects Brent crude spot prices to remain at $100 per barrel for the rest of the year and raises the average price forecasts for this year and next.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has raised its forecast for average Brent crude oil prices in 2026 and 2027 to $97 and $86, respectively, reflecting pressures from global inventory declines, Middle East supply disruptions, and rising transportation costs. As oil production in the Middle East gradually recovers and global inventories rebound from low levels, the EIA expects the average spot price of Brent crude to fall to $87 per barrel in the second quarter of 2027, and further decline to $77 per barrel by the fourth quarter.
