Back to school: markets brace for September risks By Paolo Laudani, Alessandro Parodi and Canan Sevgili (Reuters) -A summer trading lull looks set to come to a halt with September risks stacking up hard and fast. U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and French political turmoil provide a glimpse of what’s to come in a month that historically brings notable market swings as investors reassess portfolios. "My big concern is that when liquidity comes back after the summer, we see some big market moves," said St. James’s Place CIO Justin Onuekwusi. 1/ TROUBLE AT THE FED U.S. jobs numbers have become contentious after July data prompted Trump to fire the Bureau of Labor Statistics chief. So, August’s reading, due on September 5, and the Fed’s September 16–17 meeting come at a time when investors are already concerned about tension between Trump and the central bank. Fed chief Jerome Powell, whom Trump has pressured to cut rates, signalled a September move in his Jackson Hole speech, but also warned about sticky inflation. Markets price in a roughly 85% chance of a rate cut this month, but questions about the Fed’s independence have heightened uncertainty over the rate outlook and its ability to control inflation. "This latest political drama reignites concerns about the independence of the Fed, and by extension undermines confidence in the U.S. as the global benchmark for transparent and rules-based capital markets," said Swissquote Bank senior analyst Ipek Ozkardeskaya. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. 2/ NO CONFIDENCE French Prime Minister Francois Bayrou is expected to lose a September 8 confidence vote over government budget-cut plans, highlighting risks to European shares, French banks and long-term French bonds, yields of which are near their highest since 2011. If the minority government falls, President Emmanuel Macron could install a new premier or dissolve parliament and hold new legislative elections, leaving budget issues unresolved for longer and raising French ratings downgrade risks. Fitch Ratings updates its view on France on September 12, followed by DBRS on the 19th, and Scope on the 26th. "If France fails, there will be a domino effect, and we will have to question the sustainability of the performance of European markets," said Stephane Ekolo, global equity strategist at broker Tradition. 3/ DON’T FORGET GEOPOLITICS After last month’s Alaska summit between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, investors are assessing efforts to end the war in Ukraine. In a sign of fading peace hopes, Ukraine’s bonds have given back nearly half of the price gains made ahead of the August meeting. Supercharged European defence stocks remain popular as Europe commits to higher defence spending. Also watch Brent crude oil prices, sensitive to headlines and supply disruptions as Russia and Ukraine step up attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure. A punitive 25% tariff, imposed by Trump on imports from India due to its purchases of Russian oil, has been added to a prior 25% tariff on many goods. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. But positive developments could benefit energy-sensitive stocks and firms that could play a role in Ukraine’s reconstruction such as materials group Holcim. 4/ TARIFF ANGST Tariff-driven headline risk has fallen since April’s "Liberation Day" market turmoil. The U.S. has agreed preliminary trade deals with Britain, the European Union, among others, but Trump has increased the heat on other big economies such as India, meaning tariff risks could still cause pain. Traders are also watching to see if a recent U.S./China temporary tariff extension will become permanent or if Trump will again upend global supply chains with a fresh wave of prohibitively high duties on Chinese imports. 5/ BEWARE Investors warn record high stock markets reflect complacency and are a reason for caution. September is a historically weak month for shares. The MSCI World Index has dropped by nearly 4% on average each September since 2020. While August has historically been strong for U.S. equities, September is the only month with negative average returns. 6/ UNEASE IN BOND LAND Finally, pay attention to bond markets given rising government borrowing and the sustainability of public finances. Japan’s 30-year bond yields, up almost 100 basis points so far this year, are at record highs, while those in Europe are near multi-year peaks. 3rd party Ad.

These are the 8 top investor themes on policy and politics Investing.com -- Wolfe Research says investors are focused on a fresh set of policy and political risks as Washington heads into a crowded autumn agenda. The firm noted that while markets have largely shrugged off headlines during the summer, “questions abound, none of them pleasant.” The most urgent development is said to be President Trump’s purported firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, which Wolfe said could “sharply erode Fed independence” if upheld by the Supreme Court. The firm expects Cook to seek an injunction, which “would preserve the status quo until SCOTUS weighs in,” explaining the limited market reaction overnight. Against that backdrop, Wolfe highlighted eight themes dominating client conversations: A government shutdown remains unlikely. Wolfe said that while Congress faces “a total mess” after recess, “neither side really wants a shutdown.” Tariff developments continue to draw attention, but the panic has “long since faded.” The firm added that investors are watching for an appeals court ruling on tariff litigation, potentially by the end of September. Meanwhile, Wolfe noted that questions persist about how Fed rate cuts will affect deficits and the yield curve, with Trump citing U.S. debt service costs as a reason for easing. Trump’s immigration policy is seen as having a marked effect on labor markets, with border flows falling sharply, according to Wolfe. Prospects for a Russia-Ukraine peace deal resurfaced after recent White House meetings, though Wolfe remains cautious. The administration is reportedly preparing a $30 billion Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac IPO by year-end. Finally, Trump’s 10% stake in Intel and claim to 15% of NVIDIA’s China sales have unsettled investors. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com.

Investors see risks for market as Powell walks tightrope at Jackson Hole By Davide Barbuscia NEW YORK (Reuters) -Investors are bracing for volatility as Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell walks a fine line between curbing inflation and supporting the labor market, with thin August trading poised to magnify any market moves from his Jackson Hole speech on Friday. Wall Street largely expects Powell will signal an imminent easing in monetary policy, but concerns that U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs could reignite price pressures may force him to tread carefully. Meanwhile, Powell faces relentless pressure from the Trump administration to cut interest rates, turning his final address as Fed boss at the Jackson Hole economic symposium into a test of Fed independence. "There is a market tightrope here from a macroeconomic perspective between the inflation data and what’s happening in the employment market," said Tony Rodriguez, head of fixed income strategy at Nuveen. "And now you combine that with the political tightrope that’s not usually there that he has to navigate. It makes for an incredibly difficult, tricky situation," he said. Adding to the drama, Trump on Wednesday urged Fed Governor Lisa Cook to resign over mortgage allegations raised by one of his political allies, intensifying his effort to gain influence over the U.S. central bank. Cook said she had "no intention of being bullied" out of her post. "This (Jackson Hole) would be a good opportunity for Powell to speak about the importance of independence," said Idanna Appio, portfolio manager at First Eagle Investments, noting that the pressure could eventually lead to a more dovish rate-setting Fed board. A soft July jobs report and hefty downward revisions to earlier job figures fueled bets the U.S. central bank would cut interest rates from the current 4.25%-4.5% range later this year. But a surge in wholesale prices in July dimmed investor hopes for a half-point move at the Fed’s next rate-setting meeting in September, leaving markets braced for about two 25 basis point cuts for the rest of the year. So far, consumers have been spared a sharp jump in prices despite Trump’s escalating import tariffs, but doubts linger over how much of those duties will filter through to households in the months ahead. "I expect that Powell will signal a change in monetary policy that suggests that we’ll resume the rate-cutting cycle on September 17, and markets will welcome that news," said Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street (NYSE:STT) Investment Management. "But I think he’ll be reluctant to give too much transparency on the future path of rate cuts, because he knows what he doesn’t know," Arone said, referring to the inflationary impact of tariffs. ’EXPECT VOLATILITY’ Investors see any pushback from Powell against an imminent shift to monetary policy easing as the biggest risk heading into the Jackson Hole, Wyoming, event, with poor liquidity in summer trading expected to exacerbate the market reaction. "It’s next to the last week of August, it’s Friday, markets might be a little more susceptible to some volatility as a result of a little bit less liquidity ... (this) might lead to something of an unexpected move," said Rodriguez at Nuveen. Powell’s speech comes amid market concerns of stagflation, a dreaded mix of sluggish growth and sticky inflation that could limit the Fed’s ability to ride to Wall Street’s rescue, just as a tech stock selloff this week highlighted long-standing worries over steep stock valuations. "Stagflation is a risk," said James Ragan, co-chief investment officer and director of investment management research at D.A. Davidson. "If Powell pulls back on the expectation for a rate cut in September, I think stocks would fall in that scenario and you obviously would see probably bond yields rise at least at the short end," he said. To be sure, Powell’s address may ultimately be underwhelming for markets. Hot producer prices data in July removed the possibility that the Fed could deliver a jumbo-sized cut in September, limiting the scope for resistance from an inflation-focused Powell against those expectations. At the Jackson Hole conference in 2022, Powell echoed late Fed chair Paul Volcker with a hardline vow to crush inflation. This time, with inflation about 1 percentage point above the Fed’s 2% target and a softening but still healthy job market, a subtler balance could be in the cards. Still, a balanced message could be perceived as hawkish, sparking price fluctuations in stocks and bonds over the next few weeks, said Shannon Saccocia, chief investment officer for wealth management at Neuberger Berman.

Yardeni warns of market risks from Trump’s potential yield curve strategy Investing.com -- Yardeni Research has raised concerns over President Donald Trump’s efforts to lower government borrowing costs, warning that his proposed yield curve control (YCC) strategy could backfire if bond investors push back. Trump has made no secret of his desire to reduce interest expenses on U.S. debt, attacking Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and floating the idea of refinancing maturing long-term bonds with short-term Treasury bills. “One way is replacing Fed Chair Powell with a Trump loyalist… Another involves replacing maturing long-term Treasury bonds with short-term Treasury bills until long-term bond yields fall enough to refinance advantageously,” Yardeni wrote. While Trump believes “the entire yield curve would decline, saving the US federal government ‘hundreds of billions of dollars,’” if the Fed were to lower rates, Yardeni cautioned that this assumption ignores how financial markets might react. “The Bond Vigilantes could spoil his victory by pushing bond yields higher,” just as they did in early April when yields spiked following tariff announcements. Trump’s appointment of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has so far reassured some market participants. But as Yardeni noted, “it isn’t clear whether he has decided to proceed with this plan,” which will be clearer during the July 30 quarterly refunding announcement. If Trump proceeds, the risk is that bondholders may resist by demanding higher yields, particularly if a new Fed chair attempts rate cuts “not justified by the incoming data.” Yardeni warned: “Trump’s YCC-T plan might be a clever way to lower the net interest outlays of the federal government. Or it might result in another round of turmoil in the capital markets.” Either way, the standoff between Trump, Powell, and the Bond Vigilantes “raises concerns about the internal conflict with the Fed” and market volatility ahead.
