On Sept 22 President Pezeshkian departed Tehran on an official flight to New York to attend the 81st UN General Assembly high‑level week. He is scheduled to speak in the UNGA general debate on the morning of Sept 23 local time (Beijing time that evening).

The Kremlin said Russian President Putin and Turkish President Erdogan discussed proposals concerning the Black Sea and held further diplomatic talks.

Baosheng Group fixed-income analyst Afonso Borges said in a note that last week’s overtly hawkish Fed decision has flattened the U.S. Treasury yield curve, indicating improved Fed credibility is suppressing long-end yields. He said the move supports Baosheng’s preference for intermediate-duration assets. Borges added that, unlike typical post-global financial crisis tightening cycles, last week’s decision was not dovish, and that prior curve steepening had reflected market doubts about institutional credibility; the current reversal suggests the Fed’s willingness to tighten has eased those concerns, underpinning Baosheng’s overweight duration position concentrated in intermediate-maturity bonds.
