FXPARTNER Market Summary | 13.09.2026 Sunday Afternoon Update

On Sunday, global markets focused on the deadly attack on a commercial vessel in the **Strait of Hormuz**, the new territorial control gained by Yemen's **Houthis** around the **Bab el-Mandeb Strait** in the Red Sea, diesel prices in the US reaching a historic record, and rising rate-hike expectations ahead of the **Fed**'s decision on **16 September**. Around **05.00** local time (TSİ **08.30**) on Sunday morning, a commercial vessel with a **10-member** crew sailing off Iran's **Qeshm** and **Hengam** islands was struck by an unidentified object; state news agency **IRNA**, citing the **Qeshm Governor's Office**, reported that **1 crew member died and 4 were injured**, and that the party blamed for the attack was described as a **"terrorist enemy"**, though the type of projectile has not yet been determined. **UKMTO** confirmed that the vessel was struck by a projectile, that a fire subsequently broke out, and that local authorities were evacuating the crew. On the Red Sea front, Iran-backed Yemeni **Houthis** were reported to have seized the Red Sea port city of **Mokha**, **Mayun (Perim) Island** in the **Bab el-Mandeb Strait**, and the **Greater and Lesser Hanish islands** on Friday, **11 September**; the development strengthened Houthi control over the strait, through which roughly **12%** of world trade passes, and led **Saudi Arabia** to strike **Mokha Airport** with airstrikes. On the energy front, according to **AAA** data, the US national average **diesel** price rose to **$6.06 per gallon** as of **11 September**, exceeding **$6** for the first time; according to **GasBuddy**, this is the **third record** broken within a week. On the monetary policy front, according to **CME FedWatch** data, as of **12 September** the probability of the Fed raising its policy rate by **25 basis points** at the **15-16 September** FOMC meeting rose to **85.5%**; this jump in expectations gained pace after Fed Chair **Kevin Warsh**'s hawkish remarks at the **Jackson Hole** symposium and August inflation data that came in above expectations. Markets are now focused on Monday's **Salalah talks** and the **Fed FOMC** decision on **16 September**.
