FRED Shock Summary

The administered-rate configuration was unchanged through September 6. IORB remained at 3.65%, while the federal funds target range stayed at 3.50%-3.75%. With all three policy-rate observations identical to September 5, this subset contains no day-to-day change in the stated monetary-policy operating parameters.

The uncertainty measures moved sharply but in opposite directions. The U.S. Economic Policy Uncertainty Index increased from 648.29 to 709.62, a gain of 61.33 points, or about 9.5%. By contrast, the Equity Market-related Economic Uncertainty Index declined from 121.57 to 106.43, a decrease of 15.14 points, or about 12.5%. The divergence is the most notable feature of the observations: broad policy-related uncertainty rose materially even as the equity-market-specific uncertainty measure moved lower.

Taken strictly as a same-day data snapshot, the combination therefore shows stable administered interest-rate settings alongside a substantial redistribution in measured uncertainty rather than a uniform rise or fall across uncertainty indicators. The data do not establish why the two indexes diverged, and no causal connection can be inferred between their movements and the unchanged policy-rate series from these observations alone.

Yahoo Shock Summary

The cross-asset observations show gains concentrated in cryptocurrencies and metals, while oil and the major dollar measures were comparatively quiet. Bitcoin rose 0.66% to 80,350.05, while Ethereum increased 1.36% to 2,514.55, meaning Ethereum recorded the larger percentage move of the two crypto assets. Gold advanced 1.06% to 4,476.60, silver also gained 1.06% to 66.75, and copper rose 1.30% to 6.68. The simultaneous increases across gold, silver, and copper make metals the broadest area of positive movement in this snapshot.

Energy prices were unchanged in the supplied completed-close comparisons: Brent remained at 96.28 and WTI at 91.48. Currency changes were small. DXY slipped 0.01%, EUR/USD declined about 0.10%, and GBP/USD declined about 0.05%. USD/JPY increased 0.34% to 156.20, standing out as the largest reported currency move. Taken together, the currency observations do not show a large uniform directional move in the dollar across all quoted pairs.

The 2-year U.S. Treasury note futures contract declined 0.16% to 102.56, making it one of the few clearly negative moves outside the currency pairs. Thus the supplied snapshot is characterized by positive crypto and metals performance, unchanged crude-oil closes, limited movement in broad dollar measures, and a modest decline in short-dated Treasury futures.

The comparison windows are not perfectly synchronous: Bitcoin and Ethereum use September 5 as their previous close, while most futures and currency series compare September 6 with September 4. Consequently, relative percentage moves are useful for describing the supplied observations but should not be treated as evidence that all markets reacted simultaneously to a common event.
