Bearish for the Nasdaq
Oil Inflation Rate Cut Delay
Stable
Steady attention in Nasdaq 100 coverage, without a clear trend.
Updated 13 October 2026
The bearish argument: Geopolitical tensions and rising energy prices are fueling inflation concerns, with bond yields reaching 24-year highs and creating an environment where investors worry interest rates will remain elevated for an extended period. This dynamic is putting direct pressure on technology shares, which are most sensitive to discount rate movements.
