Executive Summary

Market color: Broad risk-off pre-market tape ahead of the 8:30am ET August CPI print, with oil near $100/barrel raising the odds of a Fed rate hike next week. Copper miners lead the downside as tariff uncertainty reverses the record copper rally, while memory, chip-equipment and space names slide broadly.
