- [Barrels in November, relief today. (2026-09-30)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/30-september/): Vault Wealth Double Espresso for Wednesday, 30 September 2026. The US sought an exchange of up to 40 million reserve barrels, and Brent fell below $103.
- [Two tracks, and a hedge restored. (2026-09-29)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/29-september/): Vault Wealth Double Espresso for Tuesday, 29 September 2026. Shipping through Hormuz is reported slower, and we are partly restoring the energy hedge.
- [Rejected, and still at the table. (2026-09-28)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/28-september/): Vault Wealth Cortado week-ahead for Monday, 28 September 2026. Trump refused Iran’s proposal, but its terms are now public and both sides expect to talk.
- [Offered on Friday. Rejected on Saturday. (2026-09-27)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/27-september/): Vault Wealth Cappuccino weekly wrap for Sunday, 27 September 2026. Iran's foreign minister said that if certain conditions were met the Strait of Hormuz would open at the end of seven days and talks would restart. On Saturday President Trump said he was rejecting that plan as unacceptable. The week behind it was genuinely good in places — equities ended five consecutive weekly declines and the pipeline reopened — but the Brent–WTI spread tripled to about twelve dollars.
- [The spread tripled; the streak ended. (2026-09-26)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/26-september/): Vault Wealth Double Espresso (Saturday recap) for 26 September 2026. American crude and Gulf crude have come apart: WTI settled Friday at $92.41 and Brent at $104.32, a gap of roughly twelve dollars where a week ago it was about four. And equities finally stopped falling — the S&P rose about 1.2% on the week and the Nasdaq about 2.1%, ending five consecutive weekly declines.
- [The pipeline reopened. Brent went up. (2026-09-25)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/25-september/): Vault Wealth Double Espresso for Friday, 25 September 2026. Saudi Arabia's East–West crude pipeline is back in service after the drone attack that shut it fifteen days ago — and crude rose anyway, Brent gaining 2.18% to $105.33 as indirect US–Iran talks at the UN General Assembly yielded little progress. That combination tells you what is left in the oil price, and it is not a logistics problem.
- [A 2007 high, and eleven dollars of war premium. (2026-09-24)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/24-september/): Vault Wealth Double Espresso for Thursday, 24 September 2026. The 10-year Treasury yield reached 5.135% on Wednesday, its highest since July 2007, after strong business surveys showed activity booming while bottlenecks and fuel costs pointed to more inflation ahead. Brent rose 3.9% to settle at $103.08, ending five straight sessions of losses, leaving US crude about eleven dollars below it.
- [Oil fell. Yields didn’t. (2026-09-23)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/23-september/): Vault Wealth Double Espresso for Wednesday, 23 September 2026. Brent briefly traded below $98 on Tuesday, its first visit to the $90s since the pipeline was struck, before recovering to around $100.19. On any day of the past three weeks that would have pulled the 10-year Treasury yield down with it. It did not: yields finished little changed around 4.96–4.98%, after three Fed officials spoke and none gave ground.
- [Eighty per cent, and we start reducing. (2026-09-22)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/22-september/): Vault Wealth Double Espresso for Tuesday, 22 September 2026. Flows from the broader Middle East are reported at about 80% of pre-war levels, exports through the Strait of Hormuz are steadily rising, and Saudi Arabia has been using offshore ship-to-ship transfers in the Gulf of Oman. US crude settled 4.5% lower at $95.78, below $100 for the first time since the pipeline was struck.
- [Oil and yields, now one trade. (2026-09-21)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/21-september/): Vault Wealth Cortado week-ahead for Monday, 21 September 2026. The one-month rolling correlation between front-month US crude and the 10-year Treasury yield has climbed to 0.96 — the strongest positive relationship since June 2019, according to CNBC. These two instruments are now moving as one, and between them they have absorbed almost everything this conflict has thrown at markets.
- [We are changing our framework, not our targets. (2026-09-20)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/20-september/): Vault Wealth Cappuccino weekly wrap for Sunday, 20 September 2026. In five sessions the Federal Reserve raised rates with sixteen of its eighteen participants signalling another to come, the 10-year Treasury yield reached its highest since 2007, the Gulf ministerial collapsed before it began and Saudi Arabia produced a pipeline restart plan — and the S&P 500 finished the week about a tenth of a per cent lower.
- [Everything happened. The index moved a tenth. (2026-09-19)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/19-september/): Vault Wealth Double Espresso (Saturday recap) for 19 September 2026. Gulf foreign ministers cancelled their first meeting since the war began. The 10-year Treasury yield crossed 5% and reached its highest level since 2007. The Federal Reserve raised rates for the first time since 2023, unanimously, with sixteen of eighteen participants signalling another rise. And the S&P 500 finished the week fractionally lower — a fifth consecutive weekly decline, by under a tenth of a per cent.
- [Half the pipeline, in days. (2026-09-18)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/18-september/): Vault Wealth Double Espresso for Friday, 18 September 2026. The first real relief since the East–West line was struck. Saudi Arabia indicated it could restore roughly half the pipeline's capacity within days and full operations within six weeks, and is reported to be shifting some crude exports through the Strait of Hormuz in the meantime. Brent fell toward $102 after a 2.7% drop the day before, with WTI near $100.
- [Sixteen of eighteen say again. (2026-09-17)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/17-september/): Vault Wealth Double Espresso for Thursday, 17 September 2026. The Federal Reserve raised rates by a quarter point to 3.75–4.00% on Wednesday, its first increase since 2023, and the committee was unanimous at 12–0. But the decision was never the question. The projections were, and they came in firmly hawkish: sixteen of the eighteen participants expect another rise, with four of those seeing two more as possible.
- [The hike is priced; the dots are not. (2026-09-16)](https://vaultwealth.com/resources/daily-pour/16-september/): Vault Wealth Double Espresso for Wednesday, 16 September 2026. The Federal Reserve decides today, and the decision itself is close to a formality — a quarter-point rise to 3.75–4.00% is priced at roughly 90%. The event is what comes with it: the updated projections and Chair Kevin Warsh's press conference. The previous dot plot implied a policy rate of about 3.8% by the end of 2026, which is one rise this year; the market now fully prices two.
