Now let’s talk market —- starting with an update from Morning Chatter’s Kevin Thomsen: “US Futures are higher as we start the week as investors see a follow through of momentum from last week’s gains. Until the holiday-shortened frame last week, all three major indices had been mired in a three-week losing streak as markets grappled with the reality of yet another big rate hike coming from the Federal Reserve. The central bank’s policy-setting committee is expected to raise its benchmark rate by three-quarters of a point next week, even as inflation has shown signs of cooling off. Investors will get the latest read on inflation Tuesday, when the government reports August’s consumer price index.

The Biden administration is set to unveil next month a new set of restrictions on U.S. semiconductor shipments to China, (Reuters), citing multiple people familiar with the matter. The limits will focus on chips used for artificial intelligence, as well as tools for making semiconductors. Chips Co’s were notified of the coming changes in letters earlier this year, and the companies acknowledged the communication. Reuters also reported that some of its sources for the article said the administration could also unveil additional actions against China, as Biden pushes to make the United States more competitive with its rival.”
