US Treasury Secretary Bessent said Iran may hold the world’s third-largest energy resources.

Russia's foreign ministry said on Sept. 1 it will respond after Germany said it held Moscow responsible for an attempted drone attack near Leipzig airport in early August and announced it would close the Russian consulate in Bonn on Sept. 18 and terminate the contract with the Berlin cultural centre "Russian House".

紐約聯儲數據顯示，8月28日SOFR底層隔夜回購成交量降至2.808萬億美元，較1月2日3.508萬億美元的高點下降約20%；但同比僅減少2.2%。SOFR利率爲3.65%，99分位爲3.73%，仍未顯示典型的融資擠壓。截至8月25日，CFTC數據顯示，槓桿基金的10年期美債期貨空頭減少約13萬張，5年期空頭卻增加約7.2萬張，尚未形成各期限一致撤退。因此，SOFR成交量下降不足以證明基差交易全面平倉或美債需求快速撤退。
