Current Outlook

Oil prices pushed yields and the dollar higher this Friday, and with the U.N. General Assembly kicking off next week, perhaps some diplomacy that could give clarity around the future of the conflict in the Middle East. In the meantime, we continue to digest the prospect of higher interest rates off this week's rate hike, along with the likelihood of further rate hikes at the October and December meetings later this year.

Have a great weekend, and check back next week for more insights!
