Key stocks in focus included AAPL, PSKY, SKHY, and CHWY amidst these broader macroeconomic trends and supply concerns.

상승 영향
- Energy — Expectations for improved profitability among energy-related companies have increased as WTI crude oil surpassed $96.72 per barrel.

하락 영향
- Growth Stocks — The US 10-year Treasury yield recorded a multi-year high of 4.847%, increasing the future cash flow discount rate and putting pressure on tech valuations.

DYAX 전담 분석
The surge in oil prices and the rise in Treasury yields increase corporate financing costs and shrink consumer spending capacity, acting as downward pressure on the stock market as a whole. In particular, if the August CPI growth rate exceeds expectations, the possibility of additional rate hikes by the Fed will emerge, which could deal a heavy blow to technology-heavy Nasdaq.
The upcoming Producer Price Index (PPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI) results will be key indicators determining the direction of the Fed's monetary policy. If a slowdown in inflation is confirmed, it will serve as an opportunity for the stock market to rebound, but if the hawkish stance is strengthened, we must guard against additional bond yield rises and growth stock corrections.
