On September 15th, Judge Thaler of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Boston ruled on September 14th to block the U.S. federal government from implementing a new rule that would limit the length of time foreign students and journalists can stay in the United States without applying for an extension. This new rule was originally scheduled to take effect today (September 15th). Thaler pointed out that the Department of Homeland Securitys rationale for issuing this policy was "extremely weak." The agency had previously cited national security needs and the need to prevent fraud in the visa program as justification. However, Thaler noted that the Department of Homeland Security failed to fulfill its legal obligations in formulating the policy—neither responding to concerns that the policy change might raise nor considering other less burdensome alternatives.The yield on Japans 30-year government bonds rose 3.0 basis points to 4.095%.As of 8:30 on September 15, 2026, international spot palladium and international spot platinum were among the most volatile commodities.

The 2018 Farm Bills previous extension expires on September 30th. The proposal stalled in August due to disagreements over the cost-sharing provisions of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for states, leading Boozman to announce an indefinite recess. The proposal includes a provision allowing the year-round sale of blended fuels containing up to 15% ethanol (E15) and directs the EPA to amend its rules to accommodate blended fuels. Simultaneously, the proposal links the E15 provision to a controversial amendment concerning the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and the treatment of Small Refinery Compliance Exemptions (SREs). According to the proposal under discussion, starting in 2028, the EPA will reduce regulatory quotas for eligible small refineries and reallocate estimated exemption quotas when establishing compliance obligations. The American Petroleum Institute urged the Senate to reject the SRE amendment. If the committee moves forward with the bill on Wednesday, senators will ultimately have to negotiate with the version passed by the House in April.WTI crude oil fell sharply to around $98 per barrel last night.
