CNN cited two US officials as reporting that Saudi Arabia’s key East-West oil pipeline system was struck by projectile attacks on Thursday local time. Preliminary analysis shows a pumping station alongside the pipeline was hit; satellite imagery reveals one pumping station sustained extensive fire damage, while another suffered a small blaze and emitted thick smoke. It remains unclear who is behind the attacks, whether the pipeline itself was damaged, or how long repairs will take. One US official noted the drone used in the attack originated from Iraq. The East-West pipeline’s significance has risen since the outbreak of the US-Iran conflict. With Iran effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia has diverted roughly 5 million barrels per day of crude oil originally destined for Persian Gulf tankers to flow through this pipeline to Yanbu Port on the Red Sea. Meanwhile, the Houthi movement has claimed it will target any Saudi vessels trying to transit the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, putting Saudi Arabia’s alternative oil export route at risk.

TD Securities strategists said they now expect the Federal Reserve to kick off the first of three rate hikes in September, a shift from their prior forecast that the central bank would hold rates steady through the rest of 2026. Strategists including Oscar Munoz and Gennadiy Goldberg wrote in a daily research note: "We expect a total of three rate hikes in this cycle, with the next two increases coming in October and January next year. The Fed may not provide forward guidance, but the dot plot is likely to lean hawkish." The adjustment in expectations came after U.S. August CPI data released Friday came in hotter than expected, prompting traders to price in higher near-term rate hikes from the Fed. The strategists added in the note: "After August CPI showed a lack of progress in taming inflation, we now expect the Fed to launch its rate hike cycle in September."
