Oil prices were volatile on Friday in thin trading ahead of the U.S. long weekend, as renewed fighting between the United States and Iran heightened supply concerns while signs of a rare end to the war between Russia and Ukraine reduced the geopolitical risk premium. According to Sina Finance, WTI crude rose 0.2% on Friday to close near $91.50 a barrel. CIBC Private Wealth Group senior energy trader Rebecca Babin said overnight military activity was relatively quiet, which weakened the momentum behind higher oil prices. She also said profit-taking after this week's strong gains and thin liquidity were adding pressure. Oil came under further pressure after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said U.S. President Donald Trump's envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner would travel to Moscow and then visit Ukraine for talks on ending the war. WTI crude for October delivery in New York rose 0.2% to settle at $91.48 a barrel, while November Brent rose 0.8% to close at $96.28 a barrel. Oil still gained 9.7% for the week.

U.S. stocks closed lower on Friday as Treasury yields rose after the jobs data was released, with the 2-year Treasury yield touching its highest level since January 2025. According to Sina Finance, CME FedWatch showed federal funds futures traders pricing a 58% chance of a Fed rate hike in two weeks, up from 49.4% the previous day. The S&P 500 fell 0.38% to 7,718.60, the Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.29% to 26,506.99, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 271.86 points, or 0.51%, to 53,414.25. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose more than 3%, while memory stocks surged, with SanDisk up more than 11%, SK Hynix up more than 8%, Seagate Technology down more than 6%, Western Digital up more than 5%, and Micron Technology up more than 6%. The August nonfarm payrolls report showed employment rose by 162,000, well above the 53,000 forecast in a Dow Jones survey of economists. The unemployment rate held at 4.1%, in line with market expectations, and June and July employment figures were both revised higher. Juniper Henderson portfolio manager Bradford Smith said the August jobs report was very strong and reflected much greater volatility in labor data, while slightly increasing the odds of a September rate hike. He added that the debate over Fed policy would depend heavily on upcoming inflation data. Smith also said that after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a hawkish signal at Jackson Hole last week, the Fed had formed a clear bias toward raising rates if later data failed to show more progress on cooling inflation. For the week, the Dow fell 0.3%, the S&P 500 rose 0.1%, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.4%.

According to CNBC, a Washington judge said Friday he will rule quickly on whether to dismiss with prejudice the now-discredited indictment against former U.S. Olympic canoeist David Hearn over vandalism allegations tied to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Prosecutors told D.C. Superior Court Judge Todd Edelman they want the case dismissed without prejudice, which would allow them to seek charges again if new evidence emerges, while Hearn's lawyer argued the case should be permanently closed. Prosecutors have said there are no current grounds to sustain a criminal case, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Spence said there is a public interest in allowing a future grand jury to act if new information comes to light. Hearn was indicted in early July on a destruction-of-property charge after U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said he intentionally damaged a two-square-foot piece of liner from the Reflecting Pool on June 19, but Pirro later moved to dismiss the case after the Interior Department said the damage stemmed from a flawed installation.
