This Daily Briefing Sept 27 (September 27, 2026) reviews Friday’s Wall Street close and the level of the 10-year US Treasury yield, then lists the verifiable agenda for the coming week without attaching unpublished figures to it.
Wall Street closed the week higher on Friday, September 25
On Friday, September 25, 2026, all three major US indexes finished the session in positive territory. The Dow Jones gained 0.93%, or 478.64 points, to close at 51,828.62. The S&P 500 rose 0.51% (39.28 points) to 7,743.41, and the Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.48% (129.34 points) to 27,068.716, a session driven in part by technology stocks tied to artificial intelligence, according to the session recap published by EasyBourse (source).
This closing snapshot covers Friday’s session itself: it says nothing about how markets will open on Monday, which will depend on macroeconomic data and flows during the coming week.
The 10-year US yield holds near 5.17%
In the bond market, the 10-year US Treasury yield closed at 5.17% on September 25, 2026, versus 4.81% for the 2-year note, according to the daily update published by Advisor Perspectives (source). This level extends the trend already observed in the September 26 daily briefing, where the 10-year was trading around 5.15%.
The spread between the 2-year and the 10-year remains positive, which sets the current configuration apart from an inverted curve. This article does not, however, attribute any intent to the Federal Reserve based on this single data point: the level of long-term rates reflects a combination of factors (inflation expectations, debt supply, investor demand) that goes beyond a single closing reading.
Monday, September 28: the Dallas Fed manufacturing survey
The week opens with the release of the Texas Manufacturing Outlook Survey from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, scheduled for Monday, September 28, 2026, according to the institution’s official calendar (source). No expected figure has been indicated by the publisher for this release to date, so this regional survey is announced here only by its publication time, without a consensus figure.
September 28 and 29: the Reserve Bank of Australia meets
The Reserve Bank of Australia’s monetary policy board holds its meeting on September 28 and 29, 2026, with the rate decision traditionally announced at the close of the second day, according to the meeting schedule published by the RBA (source). No targeted rate level has been communicated by the institution ahead of the decision itself, so this briefing does not prejudge its outcome. For a recap of how a week packed with central bank decisions works, see the September 25 roundup on Norges Bank, Riksbank, and SNB.
September 29: the Conference Board consumer confidence index
The Conference Board publishes its consumer confidence index for September 2026 on Tuesday, September 29, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. New York time (4:00 p.m. in Paris). The previous reading, for August 2026, stood at 89.4, according to the economic calendar consulted (source). No consensus figure is included here, as the publishing institution itself did not provide one for this release.
September 30: third GDP estimate and August PCE index
The Bureau of Economic Analysis has scheduled, for Wednesday, September 30, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. Washington time (2:30 p.m. in Paris), the joint release of the third estimate of second-quarter 2026 Gross Domestic Product and the August 2026 Personal Income and Outlays report, which contains the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index, the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge (source). No expected figures for either release are available from the publisher at this stage, so this briefing limits itself to announcing the date and time.
What this agenda does not allow you to conclude
This list gathers events confirmed by their respective issuing institutions. It is neither a market forecast nor a prediction of how these decisions will turn out. A trader following these releases on a live account or as part of a funded trading challenge benefits from distinguishing the known date of an event from the value that will come out of it, which by nature remains unpredictable before publication.
On the operational side, scheduled macroeconomic releases often bring increased volatility around the announced level, which can affect order execution. The mechanics of stop and stop-limit orders are worth reviewing before a week this loaded with data.
