What are today's top business/market headlines?

Here are today’s top business/market headlines for Wednesday, September 16, 2026:

•Wall Street fell for a second straight session Tuesday as the 10‑year U.S. Treasury yield breached 5% and oil jumped, pressuring most sectors except energy.[1]
•Fed decision due today: Economists widely expect a 25 bp hike (to 3.75%-4.00%), the first increase in over three years, despite political pressure to hold.[2]
•Oil extends gains on Middle East supply risks; Brent traded above $107–$109 after attacks and a Saudi pipeline outage heightened disruption fears.[3]
•Dollar firms and gold softens as higher yields and oil-driven inflation risks bolster expectations of a Fed hike.[4]
•Global stocks retreat as bond yields hit fresh cycle highs ahead of multiple central-bank meetings (Fed today; BoJ and BoE later this week).[5]
•Crypto under pressure: Bitcoin and crypto-related stocks remained lower after the U.S. Senate failed to advance a comprehensive regulatory bill.[6]
•AI-linked shares remain a market swing factor after recent warnings and valuation concerns weighed on the group earlier in the week.[7]
•Corporate move: Healthcare software firm Waystar is exploring strategic options including a potential sale; shares jumped on the report.[8]
