What to know

  • Xi Jinping's state visit to the US is confirmed for September 23-25, with trade, tariffs, AI safety and Middle East tensions on the agenda.
  • Oil prices fell more than 3% Monday after a Houthi missile strike on Riyadh, as Strait of Hormuz traffic picked up and investors took profits.
  • US stock futures rose broadly, with AI-linked chip stocks leading Nasdaq-100 gains ahead of the summit.
  • The rally comes against a backdrop of the Fed's first rate hike in three years and 10-year Treasury yields near 5%, driven partly by war-related inflation concerns.
