NEWS

1. Houthis Launch Fresh Saudi Attacks as Hormuz Talks Are Delayed
-- The Houthis said they targeted Saudi Arabia's King Khalid Air Base with drones and missiles Monday, prompting Saudi civil-defence alerts; planned Iran-Gulf talks on Hormuz were postponed, AFP reported.
-- Restrictions at Hormuz and the Houthi blockade of Saudi shipping through Bab el-Mandeb threaten both Gulf and Red Sea export routes; restoring pipeline operations alone would not secure tanker passage.

2. Zelensky Conditions Energy Truce on Guarantees After Trump Claims Deal
-- Trump announced a Russia-Ukraine agreement to stop energy strikes, but Zelensky said Kyiv needed guarantees that Russia would halt attacks on energy facilities, critical infrastructure and food routes; Moscow offered no immediate confirmation, DW reported.
-- Without confirmed reciprocal commitments, refiners and electricity operators cannot assume a lasting reprieve from attacks on Russian fuel production or Ukraine's winter power supply.

3. U.S. 10-Year Treasury Yield Breaches 5% for First Time Since 2023
-- The benchmark Treasury yield crossed 5% during Monday's selloff as inflation concerns collided with heavy government and corporate borrowing, Bloomberg reported.
-- Higher long-term rates increase mortgage and refinancing costs while reducing the present value of distant earnings, leaving heavily indebted borrowers and expensive growth stocks more exposed.

4. Trump Rejects AI Slowdown Calls as Technology Shares Fall
-- Trump opposed new AI guardrails Monday after Anthropic's Dario Amodei urged slower development, backed by Sam Altman and Elon Musk; global technology shares fell as investors assessed the slowdown calls, AFP reported.
-- A voluntary slowdown could reduce near-term demand for chips, data centers and power, while disagreement over binding safety rules leaves developers' future legal obligations unsettled.

5. EU Draft Targets Under-15 Social-Media Access With Sales-Based Fines
-- A draft EU plan would bar under-15s from social media and permit fines of up to 6% of annual sales for services failing to exclude children, Bloomberg reported; the Commission confirmed a September 17 proposal, not an enacted law.
-- Age checks could require adults as well as children to prove eligibility, making verification design central to privacy, while sales-based penalties would expose platforms beyond revenue from young users.

6. Senate Republicans Seek Votes for Revised Crypto Ethics Rules
-- Senate Republicans promoted revised Clarity Act ethics provisions Monday ahead of Tuesday's procedural vote; Reuters reported that support for the required 60 votes remained uncertain and bank groups still opposed stablecoin-reward provisions.
-- The proposed rules would expand state enforcement of officeholder profit restrictions and shape competition between stablecoins and bank deposits; they do not yet change crypto firms' legal duties.

SOFTWARE

7. Apple iOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate 27
-- Apple released iOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate 27 on September 14, patching flaws that could expose private data, bypass privacy permissions or execute code with kernel privileges, according to its security advisories.
-- Supported older branches also received iOS 26.7, macOS Tahoe 26.7 and Sequoia 15.8, giving users delaying a major upgrade a security-update path without adopting the new operating systems.

8. Wasabi Wallet 2.8.3
-- The stable release adds Taproot Payjoin support, requires Tor for Payjoin, strengthens coinjoin blame-round verification and fixes transaction-value checks, according to the project's release notes.
-- Users shown a compatibility-passphrase warning should create a new wallet: affected legacy passwords can prevent recovery with standard BIP39 tools, and the workaround is being retired.
