1. Netanyahu plays the two-faced man to pacify United States while pressuring his subordinates
Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday that he was committed to a hostage and ceasefire deal in Gaza, but Israel officials said he refused to give his negotiators enough space to reach a deal, according to the AXIOS. Netanyahu's negotiating team reported to him on Sunday that a deal could be reached if he is willing to offer more room to maneuver. Two senior Israel officials said Netanyahu refused to budge and condemned the negotiating team for "capitulating." Netanyahu went on to argue that if Israel takes a firm stance, Hamas will eventually give in. The White House previously claimed that significant progress had been made in the talks in Doha last week, with Blinken saying Netanyahu had accepted the proposal of the United States and that Hamas now had a responsibility to agree to a ceasefire. The statement confused some Israel officials, who said Netanyahu's hardline way had actually made it harder to reach a deal. Netanyahu endorsed United States' proposal, but he knew Hamas would reject it because it included several of his latest demands.
2. Goldman Sachs strategists: United States stocks will rise in the next four weeks
Scott Rubner, managing director and strategist at Goldman Sachs Global Markets, said United States stocks are poised to rebound over the next four weeks, driven by positive technology stock dynamics and corporate buybacks. "The bar to remain bearish during the Labor Day holiday is high," Rubner wrote in the note. "Total exposure to rules-based systemic funds has increased from $450 billion in July to $250 billion now. Funds that followed the trend began to re-leverage. Commodity trading advisors (CTAs) are expected to see strong buying demand in the coming week. Regardless of the market movement, a commodity trading advisor is likely to buy stocks. Business demand will also be a boost. But he warned that after Sept. 16, the stock market could move negatively, as the second half of September has traditionally been the worst two weeks of the year. Rubner expects the S&P 500 to reach 6,000 points in November and December.
3. Analysts: Oil prices are lower due to the easing of geopolitical risks and demand concerns

Sparta's Peter Cardillo said in the report that new negotiating efforts to end the conflict in Gaza, as well as the possible phase-down of some of the production cuts by OPEC+, overshadowed "the potentially serious geopolitical consequences of the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine situation." "Technically, oil prices are currently retraced from their recent strength and are likely to continue to move lower," he added. ”
