Trump-Xi Summit, Navigating Higher Yields, Oracle’s ‘Force Majeure’ 9/24/26

Stocks are moving between gains and losses as investors weigh rising yields and a report of the U.S. and Iran potentially reaching a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Kelly Evans and Brian Sullivan open the show by discussing the impact the conflict in the Middle East is having on U.S. markets with Rochefort Asset Management Founder and Co-CEO, Kyle Bass. He emphasized the importance of shutting down the IRGC’s ability to access capital as the global sanctions have become a key issue complicating the relations between the U.S. and China. Harris Oakmark’s David Herro then joins the anchors on set to break down his best stock picks for investors given the recent rise in treasury yields and the possibility of another interest rate hike at October’s Federal Reserve meeting. Oracle shares are falling after the company reportedly sent a “force majeure” notice to the developer of its data center project in New Mexico. D.A. Davidson Head of Technology Research, Gil Lauria, weighs in on what long-term impact this might have on shares and the rest of the AI data center sector.
