(6 Sep 2026) Stocks ended the week slightly higher despite renewed inflation fears after Friday's strong jobs report. The combination of a robust labour market and high oil prices has increased the probability of a Fed rate hike to 60% at the next FOMC meeting on Sep 16.
This positive outcome was in keeping with some of the active alignments we have recently noted. The entry of Venus into sidereal Libra on Wednesday, Sep 2 coincided with a strong midweek rebound after some early week selling. Ironically, the updated cumulative trend chart for Venus in sidereal Libra actually shows a dip last week relative to the arbitrary backtest starting point on Aug 9. This dip is an artifact of price data recorded at 4-day intervals which places the preceding data point on Aug 28, rather than Aug 31, a date which actually marked the interim low. While the current transit of Venus through sidereal Virgo and Libra shows DJIA price tracking below historical benchmarks, it is above its low and suggests further upside going forward.
