美國總統特朗普：美國官員與伊朗代表團會晤了三個小時。

South Korea's foreign minister said he expressed hope for a rapid restoration of peace and stability in the Middle East, and that he and UAE Foreign Minister Abdullah agreed to maintain close communication to ensure last November's state visit by South Korea's president to the UAE yields substantive results.

RSM analyst Thomas Pugh said August public net borrowing rose sharply YoY, complicating the upcoming budget and making an October tax increase likely. Fiscal-year-to-date net borrowing is £77.3 bln, well above the Office for Budget Responsibility’s £69.2 bln forecast. With inflation rising and the budget likely to include additional spending commitments, borrowing is expected to continue materially outpacing forecasts. Investors are watching each borrowing print for signs of the government’s fiscal discipline amid elevated gilt yields.
