Consumer confidence fell to its lowest level since late 2025 due to rising energy costs and geopolitical conflicts, notably the Iran crisis. This decline led to a reduction in investor borrowing, marking the first drop in margin debt in ten months and hinting at reduced risk appetite. Equity markets, including the S&P 500, suffered their fifth consecutive weekly loss, reaching seven-month lows. The Federal Reserve is expected to keep interest rates steady through 2026 amid this volatility, with a potential rate cut projected for late 2027.
