Thoughtful Money with Adam Taggart · Tuesday, August 25, 2026
Mark Newton outlines three primary reasons for expecting market choppiness in the coming months. He cites the need for further consolidation within the technology sector, a potential rise in crude oil prices acting as a headwind, and increasing long-term interest rates in the US.
“So that is the first thing that I don't suspect that tech is going to be probably the best sector over the next couple months.”
“The second is that crude oil to me looks like we're going to continue this little bounce that we started in the month of July, up higher into probably mid-September, early October, which is going to be a source of probable discomfort for markets.”
“The last is that long-term interest rates, which have been going up around the globe, have started now to push higher in the US.”
