Stock Market Today (Sept. 18, 2026): Nasdaq futures rise after Fed rate hike lifts stocks
Why now
Thesis: Fed rate path drives equity discount rates
Catalyst to watch: Fed guidance and yield moves
Main risk: Internally inconsistent headline misleads
Why it matters
Headline pairs a Fed rate hike with rising Nasdaq futures, which is internally inconsistent; the rate path drives equity discount rates.
