Market Briefing — Thursday, September 3, 2026

Morning Market Summary

Good morning. Today at eight-thirty AM Eastern, watch for three events: productivity and costs revisions, the August trade balance, and weekly initial jobless claims—all likely to bring the first volatility spike. At nine-forty-five AM, the S&P Global US Services PMI, a high-impact release, lands alongside the composite PMI update. Then at ten AM Eastern, the ISM Services PMI, another major event, hits with the Atlanta Fed GDPNow update. Natural gas traders, your EIA storage report comes at ten-thirty AM. Treasury bill auctions follow at eleven-thirty AM, and Freddie Mac’s mortgage survey at noon. Later, at four-thirty PM, the Fed balance sheet closes out the session. Set your Alerts Widget now to catch these moves; next key event is those eight-thirty AM numbers.
