## Resource

Stocks staged a modest rebound today, with the S&P 500 up 0.6%, the Dow adding 270 points, and the Nasdaq gaining ground—following a rough stretch fueled by rising oil prices and bond market dips. Banks like JPMorgan and Bank of America led gains, while Dell surged nearly 7% after strong earnings. Meanwhile, European and Asian markets fell, but oil prices held steady at around $95.69 per barrel despite Middle East tensions—Chevron’s expansion in Venezuela adds a twist. The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical chokepoint, amplifying inflation pressures already strained by trade tensions. Businesses and households are feeling the pinch, and early signs suggest the job market may be cooling. Friday’s big jobs report looms large: while the last one showed stagnation, a private survey hints at August job losses. Both inflation and employment are central to Wall Street and the Fed’s dilemma—raising rates could curb inflation but risk slowing growth. Investors are betting on another September rate hike, as Treasury yields climb, signaling higher borrowing costs ahead.
