What are today's top business/market headlines?

Here’s a quick market snapshot for Monday, September 21, 2026 (U.S.):

•U.S. equity futures edge higher, tracking gains across Asia as AI chipmakers lead; Japan is shut for a holiday, with traders watching yen moves after reported “rate checks.” S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures were up roughly 0.3%–0.4% in early trade.[1]
•Oil eases after recent spikes, with hopes for extra Saudi supply offsetting Middle East tension headlines.[1]
•The 10‑year U.S. Treasury yield hovers around 5%, keeping pressure on equity valuations after last week’s Fed hike.[2]
•Fed focus persists this week: multiple officials are scheduled to speak following the September 15–16 FOMC meeting, and markets will parse remarks for the rate path.[3]
•Traders are also watching a planned U.S.–China summit in Washington later this week for signals on trade and economic ties.[4]
