The Open Bell — Ep. 082 — 14 Oct 2026
Today on The Open Bell:
A Houthi ballistic missile hit the Dhahran headquarters of Saudi Aramco yesterday, set fire to an administrative tower that effectively runs one-eighth of the world's entire oil supply, and oil prices surged toward $95 a barrel before markets had time to blink.
The head of the New York Fed told the world on Tuesday that rate hikes are basically done after one more this year, and the bond market, which prices US government debt and sets the floor for mortgage rates everywhere, added billions in value within minutes.
Singapore's central bank just held rates steady despite the economy growing at 5.4 percent, and every single analyst who covers it predicted the opposite, which is either a masterclass in monetary policy or a very bad sign for anyone who thought they had this one figured out.
