Edward Meir's week in review and thoughts on the week of Sept. 8, 2026

We had another choppy week in the various markets leading to the Labor Day holidays.

The action in the energy market consumed the most attention as things in the Persian Gulf remain tense. Midweek, US forces launched strikes along Iran’s southern coast targeting Iranian launchers and missile sites, but Tehran accused Washington of hitting a wedding party as well, killing five people and wounding dozens. Iran launched missiles at American bases in both Jordan and Iraq.
