Line chart of the Nasdaq Composite climbing through the September 16 Fed rate hike to September 22, 2026.

The Nasdaq Composite has kept climbing since the US Federal Reserve raised its policy rate on September 16, 2026, its first increase in more than three years, with another hike signalled for this year. The rally continues despite warnings from Capital Economics that the AI trade is a late-stage bubble and that the S&P 500 could eventually fall at least 30 per cent. Behavioural finance describes this pattern as recency bias outweighing a clear warning signal.
