US 8-week Treasury bill auction on Sep 24: stop-out yield 3.99% versus 3.92% at the prior auction.

投資者正在爲近期可能出現的美國股市的下行走勢做準備。根據LPL Financial的數據，在加息週期首次加息後的三個月，標普500指數中位數下跌2.6%。該數據考察了自1994年美聯儲開始公佈會議結果以來的六個週期。加拿大皇家銀行美國股票策略主管Lori Calvasina表示，在這些時期，該指數在首次加息後不久大多經歷了“有意義的回撤”。RBC稱，在其中的五個週期中，標普500指數從峯值水平的跌幅在8%至14%之間，低點出現在加息後一個月至三個半月之間。“我們正在進入這一新階段，這使我們保持警惕，預計標普500指數近期將出現……5%至10%的普通回調，”Calvasina表示。

Yemen's Houthi rebels said on Sept. 23 that despite ongoing fighting near the strategic Bab al‑Mandeb strait linking the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, 408 commercial vessels transited the waterway between Sept. 11-21, according to Houthi-controlled Masirah TV citing a group statement. Of those, 196 sailed north into the Red Sea and 212 south into the Gulf of Aden; the tally included container ships. The report added that "except for Saudi vessels, international shipping continues normally and safely." The figure exceeded the 393 transits recorded Sept. 1-10, when 199 moved north and 194 moved south.
