- US stocks erased earlier gains while the dollar declined, according to Bloomberg's markets roundup, which flagged ASML as a catalyst for the reversal
- September US consumer inflation is expected to show accelerating price increases driven primarily by higher gasoline prices, per CNBC, Reuters, and NBC News previews of the CPI release
Why it matters: Investors are repositioning ahead of the September CPI release, which multiple outlets expect to show an inflation reacceleration fueled by gasoline — a hot print would directly shape rate-cut expectations, bond yields, and the dollar's trajectory. ASML's news compounded the risk-off tone, dragging equity gains that had built earlier in the session.
