International oil prices crossed $100 a barrel amid Middle East supply fears and Fed rate hike warnings, pushing 10-year US Treasury yields to a 19-year high and pressuring global stocks. Domestically, National Assembly confirmation hearings for cabinet nominees are underway, alongside President Lee Jae-myung's upcoming press conference. The entertainment scene remains relatively quiet with no major new headlines over the past few days.

US stocks and global financial markets are caught in a squeeze between high interest rates and soaring oil prices. On September 15 (local time), New York equities saw a bear market trend with major indices falling six out of seven trading sessions. Tech-heavy Nasdaq led the downturn, while the 10-year US Treasury yield hovered above 5%, hitting its highest level since 2007. This was largely driven by international crude topping $100 per barrel due to supply concerns in the Middle East.

Comments from Federal Reserve officials are also dampening market sentiment. Fed Governor Waller warned that inflation remains too high and hinted at the possibility of additional rate hikes. Consequently, the S&P 500 dropped 0.45%, and the Nasdaq Composite edged lower. Hit by these US-driven headwinds, the Kospi index similarly failed to escape the downturn, slipping down to the 6400 range.
Meanwhile, asset market analyses point out that September has historically been the worst-performing month for US equities, though some analysts suggest the market could rebound as uncertainty clears about seven weeks before the midterm elections. Investors are advised to adjust their positions in preparation for upcoming events.
