The causal mechanism is that elevated energy costs and rising yields pressure equity valuations while a hawkish Fed removes the easing backdrop. The stated catalyst is the upcoming FOMC meeting and its rate-hike pricing. Main risk is that the Fed turns out more dovish than expected or oil retreats.", "thesis_short": "Red week on oil, yields, FOMC hikes", "quote": "Don't see how next week isn't a red week.
