Citigroup: Raised Oracle (ORCL.N) rating to buy from neutral; raised target share price to $410 from $240.On September 10th, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) developed and issued the national standard "Guidelines for the Classification of Dishonesty Information of Business Entities" (GB/T46276-2025). This standard provides operational guidance for strengthening the unified classification of information on dishonest behavior of business entities and the joint multi-departmental oversight of dishonest behavior. The standard establishes the basic principles for the classification of dishonest information of business entities and provides information on the scope, classification system architecture, coding rules, classifications, and codes of dishonest information. It is applicable to the classification and use of dishonest information of business entities.TD COWEN: Raised Oracle (ORCL.N) target price to $375, from $325 previously.On September 10th, Fitch Ratings raised its global GDP growth forecast on Tuesday, while noting a slowdown in the US economy and job market. However, compared to last years data, global economic growth is expected to slow "significantly" this year. Global growth is expected to slow to 2.4% this year from 2.9% last year, and to slow further to 2.3% next year, before expanding to 2.6% in 2027. Furthermore, Fitch stated that uncertainty surrounding US tariff policy has decreased following a series of announcements. However, Chief Economist Brian Coulton noted, "Greater clarity regarding US tariff increases does not change the fact that they remain substantial and will weaken global growth. And signs of a US economic slowdown are now appearing in hard data, not just sentiment surveys." Fitch noted that the rise in inflation from the tariff increase is "modest" but is expected to accelerate later this year. "Higher inflation will dampen real wage growth and weigh on US consumer spending, which has already slowed noticeably in 2025." Meanwhile, US job growth has slowed "noticeably," and the weakening labor market should persuade the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates sooner than previously anticipated. Fitch currently expects the Fed to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at its September and December meetings, and three more rate cuts next year.S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures continued to rise to intraday highs.

Prior to US Data, the US Dollar Index consolidates recent gains above a 20-year high

US Dollar Index (DXY) bulls take a pause around a 20-year high, recently falling to 104.75 as sluggish markets cause consolidation of recent rapid swings, predominantly in favor of the dollar, during Friday's Asian session.

 

The dollar index has risen for three straight days to reestablish a multi-year high at 105.00. The underlying dynamics may be related to the market's anxieties about inflation and growth, as well as the Fed's faster/heavier rate hikes and covid/geopolitical concerns.

 

Nonetheless, the most recent decline in the DXY is influenced by the rebound in US Treasury yields from a two-week low, as well as moderately bid stock futures. The US 10-year Treasury yields exhibit a corrective pullback after touching a two-week low the day before, around 2.86 percent as of press time, whilst the S&P 500 Futures exhibit modest gains while licking their wounds near a one-year low.

 

The US Producer Price Index (PPI) matched expectations of a 0.5% MoM increase and kept inflation fears on the table the previous day. However, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell reaffirmed the expectation that the Fed will raise interest rates by a half-point at each of the next two policy meetings. As markets anticipate a 75-basis-point (bps) rate hike, the same factor may have caused the rates' comeback. On the same line, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly stated, "Is it fifty, twenty-five, or seventy-five? These are matters that I'll discuss with my colleagues, but my starting point is that we don't want to go so swiftly or abruptly as to startle the American people.

 

In the future, DXY bulls will search for more evidence to validate the Fed's 75 basis point rate hike, which highlights today's preliminary readings of US Michigan Consumer Sentiment data for May, which is predicted to be 64 vs 65.2 before. Risk catalysts, such as covid worries from China and geopolitical events regarding Russia and Ukraine, are also significant for the US Dollar Index.

Technical Evaluation

Despite the recent dip, the DXY's short-term downside is supported by the November 2002 lows and the last month's high, which are near 104.10 and 103.95, respectively. In contrast, bulls are well-positioned to attempt the high of 107.31 from December 2002.
