What are today's top business/market headlines?
Based on the latest available market news (note: today, September 27, 2026, is a Sunday, so U.S. markets are closed — here's the most recent business/market headlines from the last trading session and this weekend):
Bond Yields & Inflation Concerns
The 10-year US Treasury yield surged to reclaim its highest level in nearly two decades after new data depicted strong business activity and intensifying inflation concerns. Bond market volatility remains a major theme, with CNBC noting bond market alarms are ringing on Wall Street.
Trump-Xi Summit Wraps Up
Trump and Xi wrapped their state visit centered on spectacle over substance, with China and the U.S. agreeing to a $30 billion tariff cut and AI dialogue during Xi's visit, according to Beijing. The summit included notable diplomatic gestures — Atlanta is getting pandas as China's Xi revives a longtime diplomatic strategy at the summit with the U.S.
Friday's Market Close (Sept. 25)
U.S. equity markets closed higher on Friday, supported by a stabilization in Treasury yields, lower oil prices, and another sign of resilient economic momentum. On the economic data front, headline durable goods orders were unchanged in August, though core capital goods orders (excluding defense and aircraft) rose a healthy 1.6% on the month, signaling solid underlying business investment trends.
Oil Prices Falling
U.S. crude oil fell nearly 8% for the week after Tehran and Washington held talks at the U.N. Friday's session saw hopes for Middle East progress sending oil down, while meetings between U.S. and Chinese leaders failed to forge any trade breakthroughs.
