   Number 1: 9-16-26 Markets Break the 50-DMA: What Happens Next? | Before the Bell

   Markets broke below the 50-DMA and their recent consolidation range, but does that signal a deeper correction or set the stage for a reflexive rally? With stocks becoming increasingly oversold, today's FOMC meeting could provide the catalyst for the market's next move. Meanwhile, oil remains an important wildcard. High energy and diesel prices can weigh on consumers, transportation, inflation, and economic growth, while a reversal in oil could ease inflation pressure, give the Fed more breathing room, and potentially provide relief for bond yields. Lance Roberts examines the market's technical setup, why a sustained break of the 50-DMA matters more than a one-day move, and how oil prices could influence stocks, inflation, interest rates, and the economy through year-end.

   Number 3: 9-8-26 What Higher Bond Yields Mean for Your Portfolio

   Why are bond yields moving higher, and what could that mean for investors? Rising Treasury yields can influence borrowing costs, economic growth, stock valuations, and bond prices. Lance Roberts & Jon Penn break down what may be driving yields higher, what the bond market could be signaling, and how changing interest rates can work their way through the economy and financial markets. For investors, the key may not simply be how high yields rise, but understanding what is causing them to move higher. 0:00 INTRO 0:53 - ADP, PPI CPI Previews 1:34 - Meh Market: Don't do anything yet 6:03 - Mid-Terms are up in the air 6:57 - Oil Prices & Inflation 8:06 - Volatility remains compressed 9:53 - Labor Day & Refrigerator Raids 10:30 - What do higher interest rates mean for economy, portfolios? 12:52 - What the Fed really controls 14:53 - There's Good Inflation & Bad Inflation 16:27 - Interest Rates, Debt, & Deficits 17:53 - The Math of Term Premiums 20:15 - When a Treasury Matures (is there any risk to not being bought?) 22:38 - Rates are Returning to Normal 24:17 - The Example 27:35 - The Discount Rate 28:59 - The Rate of Change in Interest Rates 30:34 - When Will interest Rates impact Equity Markets? 32:15 - Are Higher Rates the New Normal? 34:09 - It's Okay to Own the Long End of the Curve 37:54 - The Irony of Higher Interest Rates 38:53 - Debt, Deficits, & Demographics 40:18 - Crises Without a Clock are Useless 42:20 - The Thing About Upside-down Bonds (and loss aversion) 45:30 - Just because you take a loss...

   Number 5: 8-31-26 September Volatility Test Begins | Before the Bell

   September arrives with markets under pressure, volatility unusually compressed, and the S&P 500 testing key technical support. With earnings season over and economic data taking center stage, investors could face a more challenging stretch as momentum stocks weaken and midterm election uncertainty approaches. Lance Roberts examines the market's sell signal, the potential for a pullback toward the 50-DMA and 100-DMA, and why the 7,500 area could become important support. With rapid market rotation making risk management more difficult, maintaining a cash buffer, managing bond duration, and avoiding emotional investment decisions could be increasingly important as September volatility returns.
