What stands out

On Schwab Network Collin Martin argued inflation remains "too sticky," and he laid out a case for one or two more Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hikes before the end of 2026, warning that rising Treasury yields make fixed-income a less attractive buy right now. At the same time the Senate defeat of the Clarity Act knocked the wind from Bitcoin and broader crypto sentiment. That combination matters because rising policy risk and headline-driven crypto shocks can reprice portfolios quickly, pressuring brokerages and trading flows even as long-term investors reassess asset allocation.
