烏克蘭外長：歐洲理事會主席科斯塔和英國首相伯納姆抵達基輔，慶祝烏克蘭獨立日。

An Iranian senior official told the Jerusalem Post and Al Mayadeen that Tehran has been invited to join the Mecca collective defence pact set up earlier this month by Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan. The invitation has not been confirmed by Iran’s foreign ministry or by any of the three pact members. Mehdi Rahimi, head of the Islamic Consultative Assembly news agency, said Iran has received the invitation and is reviewing it, adding regional states are moving toward a regional security umbrella and describing the development as a diplomatic win for Iran.

The bond market has signalled to Treasury Secretary Bessent that it will not ignore the roughly $40 trillion stock of U.S. Treasuries. Bessent announced plans to increase long-dated Treasury buybacks this fall, pledged to use the Treasury’s wide “toolbox” to support markets and said further measures to curb the rising U.S. debt burden are forthcoming. John Arnold, ex-Enron energy trader and founder of Arnold Ventures, said this summer’s bond volatility may prove another quickly contained episode, but his larger worry is that an unchanged U.S. fiscal trajectory could persist until it triggers a crisis. Tracy Chen, portfolio manager at Brandywine Global, said she is very nervous because Bessent has failed to rein in long-term yields; market moves suggest bond vigilantes still distrust him. Bessent needs to do more to convince investors the Trump administration is serious about fiscal repair, but proposals to raise revenue via tax increases or austerity would be politically unpopular ahead of the November midterms.
