On September 1, ProShares UltraPro QQQ fell 5.09% in regular trading, trading at $68.39/share, with turnover of $3.266 billion. Multiple headwinds converged to pressure the Nasdaq 100 index, with the triple-leveraged ETF amplifying losses.

On the news front, escalating Middle East tensions following renewed US-Iran hostilities drove Brent crude oil toward $92 per barrel, stoking fears that persistently elevated energy prices could further fuel inflation and complicate the Federal Reserve's rate path. The 10-year US Treasury yield surged above 4.78%, its highest since January, while the 30-year yield climbed to 5.27%. Money markets priced in a roughly 70% probability of a 25-basis-point rate hike at the September 16 Fed meeting, following hawkish remarks by Fed Chair Wosh at the Jackson Hole symposium. However, Goldman Sachs pushed back on the aggressive pricing, forecasting August core CPI and core PCE inflation at around 0.2%, a pace it deems insufficient to justify a rate hike. Later in the session, Treasury yields reversed much of their gains, allowing equities to recover partially from intraday lows.
