SEPTEMBER 2026 • GLOBAL MARKET REVIEW The Month in One Sentence September 2026 was a month in which rising borrowing costs, higher crude oil prices and geopolitical uncertainty collided with resilient equity markets and powerful AI optimism.

Crude oil returned above the $100-per-barrel zone. Central banks adopted or maintained tighter positions. The US dollar strengthened against several major currencies. And yet global equities remained surprisingly resilient. For India...

Index Trading for the Global Trader : Understanding Global Indices, Market Breadth, Volatility, Futures, Options & Risk Management

THE CRA PERSPECTIVE Index Trading for the Global Trader Understanding Global Indices, Market Breadth, Volatility, Futures, Options & Risk Management One market view can represent hundreds of companies, multiple sectors and an entire economic narrative. “An index is more than a number on a screen.

Instead of scanning hundreds of stocks without a framework, the trader begins with the broader market, determines where relative strength or weakness is appearing, and then narrows the search to the strongest or weakest candidate within th...
