Unrelated to the tariffs but part of the same Washington dynamic: the Senate has adjourned until November 9, so the CLARITY Act and any digital-asset framework are frozen until after the midterms
Policy Pulse - Global Spillover - 01 Oct 2026 - Watch2026-10-01
The relevant money is the crypto PAC spend in Ohio and the composition of the next Senate, not the trading ban. The CLARITY Act already died on cloture in September and the industry's stated Plan B is rulemaking at the SEC and CFTC — a slower, less binary path

Brent fell back below USD 100 to USD 98.33 as Hormuz transits and the Saudi East-West pipeline recovered and the G7's 100-million-barrel release began flowing - a cost tailwind for IOC, BPCL and INDIGO and a headwind for ONGC and XOM. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq printed new records on Tuesday as the 10-year Treasury eased to 5.26% from a 19-year high of 5.35%, the euro hit a 17-month low on French fiscal stress, and BMI Research raised its Q4 2026 Brent forecast to USD 107 a barrel while Kenanga went to USD 91 for 2026.

Trump stood up the Super Intelligence Force on Sunday - a White House task force chaired by DNI Jay Clayton, with FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson and Pentagon CTO Emil Michael, and a charter written to prevent overregulation - a capex-permission signal for NVDA, AVGO and VRT. USTR Greer said negotiated tariff caps will be credited against the Section 301 excess-capacity probe, the July disclosure showed $5-25 million sales each of AMZN and MSFT alongside a June buy of small-cap defence name EFOR, and $90 Medicare payments to 20.8 million beneficiaries plus a renewed $5,000 cheque pledge read as a transfer positive for WMT, DG and UNH.

September payrolls came in at just 29,000 against an 84,000-90,000 consensus with unemployment at 4.2% and July revised into a loss, taking the October Fed hike off the table and sending Treasury yields tumbling from a 24-year high. Trump announced on Truth Social that Europe will release emergency diesel stocks, pushing Brent below $100 and lifting DAL, UAL, CCL and RCL while pressuring XOM and CVX. Greer closed the G20 in Milwaukee with no timetable for US-China tariff cuts, and the July disclosure showed Trump's team sold up to $25 million each of AMZN and MSFT.

G20 trade ministers endorsed a Milwaukee Framework on steel overcapacity as Greer put the MFN principle itself up for review, while a Section 301 overcapacity probe covering 16 economies including India remains the unexercised risk to SUNPHARMA, WELSPUNLIV and BHARATFORG. Brent went back above $100 on China's fuel-export halt, lifting XOM and CVX against DAL and CCL, the US 10-year held near 5.28% after its biggest quarterly gain since 1994, and Micron's blowout quarter drove a 2.9-3.3% Nikkei rally.

The Senate kills the CLARITY Act 49-50, sending COIN down ~10% and CRCL 8-11% and closing crypto's legislative route for 2026, while a 25bp Fed hike is 94% priced into tonight's decision with the 10-year at 4.995%.

Policy Pulse - Trump / US Watch - 15 Sep 2026
Trump rejected Anthropic's AI slowdown call outright - 'whoever wins AI wins' - removing policy risk from the NVDA/AVGO/VRT capex trade even as the 10-year crossed 5% and hike odds topped 90% into tomorrow's FOMC. Canada's Section 338 product changes took effect today (ATVs and dairy in, road salt and cement out) and the Senate holds its 60-vote CLARITY Act test this afternoon (COIN, HOOD).

August CPI matched at 3.4% y/y but core ran 0.3% m/m, holding September Fed hike odds near 60% and the 10-year near 4.95% - a headwind for NVDA, MU and INTC into ORCL's AI cloud beat. Trump's USD 5,000 dividend pledge costs an estimated USD 1.2-1.35 trillion (TLT risk, GLD bid) and Canada's Section 338 scope changes land September 15 (F, GM, STLA).
