September 18 – According to the Associated Press, the U.S. State Department confirmed that it has approved Iranian President Peshizian and Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi, along with other senior officials, to travel to New York for next weeks high-level meeting of the United Nations General Assembly. The State Department stated that the Iranian "core delegation" and essential personnel will be allowed to attend the General Assembly activities, but will be subject to travel restrictions and will be prohibited from purchasing luxury goods and other restricted items in accordance with U.S. policy. The U.S. stated that this years Iranian delegation is smaller than last years. This decision was made against the backdrop of the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, which has lasted for more than six months. Currently, there has been no significant progress between the two sides on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and resuming negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue. As the host country of the United Nations, the United States is usually bound by obligations to the host country and finds it difficult to prevent foreign leaders from attending the General Assembly. Previously, the United States has also issued limited visas to representatives of countries involved in conflicts and imposed restrictions on their activities. This decision to approve the Iranian delegations visas comes just one day after the U.S. refused to allow Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his delegation to the General Assembly.A U.S. State Department spokesperson said that the core delegation of the Iranian regime will be able to attend the high-level week of the UN General Assembly.U.S. State Department: Washington has issued visas to Iran to attend a United Nations meeting.Houthi rebels in Yemen: In the past 24 hours, the Saudi Air Force launched 37 airstrikes on Taiz and Hodeidah provinces in Yemen, using F-15 fighter jets that took off from Khamis Mushait Air Base, causing civilian casualties.ExxonMobil (XOM.N): A power outage occurred at its refinery in Joliet, Illinois.

Bitcoin (BTC) increased 1.03% on Sunday. BTC lost 0.60% on Saturday but recovered to close the week down 0.91% at $19,267. Notably, BTC avoided a drop to below $19,000 by failing to surpass $20,000 for the eighth session in a row.


After a choppy morning, BTC dropped to an early low of $19,067. BTC climbed to a late high of $19,428 while eluding the First Major Support Level (S1) at $18,966. Both the First Major Resistance Level (R1) and the Second Major Resistance Level (R2) were breached by BTC at $19,202 and $19,332, respectively. BTC, however, was unable to reach $19,500 and fell down into R2, ending the week at $19,267.


On Sunday, Ethereum (ETH) gained 2.43%. ETH lost 1.62% on Saturday but gained 1.28% towards the end of the week to reach $1,306.


ETH saw a bullish start to the Sunday session, rising from a low of $1,275 in the early morning to a late high of $1,316. At $1,297, ETH overcame the First Major Resistance Level (R1). ETH slipped down to conclude the week at less than $1,310, falling short of the Second Major Resistance Level (R2) at $1,318, however.


Because there were no noteworthy events on Sunday, dip buyers returned in anticipation of a reasonably calm week on the US economic calendar.


Despite increasing odds of 75 basis point Fed rate increases in November and December, the upside still occurred. When the economy starts to falter, it is hoped that the Fed would ease up on the throttle.


An increase in market risk appetite was fueled by the UK Gilt market's return to order during this morning's session, providing support. The NASDAQ Mini was up 139.25 points before the start of the US trading day.
